Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a dedicated 5th grade Dual Language teacher, I strive to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment for my students, where they can thrive academically while embracing both English and Spanish. However, one of the biggest challenges in our classroom is the limited access to printer ink. Our ability to print vital materials, such as bilingual worksheets, reading comprehension passages, class projects, and homework, is severely restricted due to the high costs of ink cartridges.

Many of my students are from diverse backgrounds, and for some, this is their first exposure to a bilingual learning environment.

Having access to a reliable printer allows me to create high-quality, differentiated resources that cater to their unique learning needs. Whether it’s printing homework assignments in both languages, providing visual aids to reinforce lessons, or creating charts that make abstract concepts more accessible, printer ink is a crucial tool in our daily learning activities.

With your support, we can purchase ink cartridges for our classroom printer, which will enable us to print bilingual educational materials, student projects, and essential learning resources that will enhance their understanding and engagement in both languages. This will not only help bridge any learning gaps but also ensure that each student has access to the resources they need to succeed in a dual language setting.

Your generous donation will directly impact my students’ academic experience, providing them with the tools to excel and become confident bilingual learners. By supporting our classroom, you are investing in the future of young scholars and empowering them to become global citizens.

Thank you for helping us make a difference!
