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

My school is proud to integrate arts into our daily curriculum, allowing students opportunities to showcase their learning by incorporating music, art, and drama. The requested materials, such as colored paper, art materials, and a color printer, will encourage my scholars to use their imagination and creativity as they demonstrate their knowledge. My class works diligently on various projects and tasks requiring students to produce and print pictures to accompany their products. The addition of a full-color printer as a class resource would make a huge difference in our room. Thank you for helping our vision become a reality.

By donating to my project, you will give my students opportunities to shine, showcase their creativity and learning, and help increase their academic achievement.

My students are eager learners, and I am constantly looking for ways to challenge them and provide them with a positive learning environment. My students will have the chance to use the fun and engaging materials to provide them with different modalities to increase their participation and motivation and aim for mastery.

As the teacher, I am constantly printing a significant amount of materials. It's crucial that these materials be printed in color because many of the students are special education and English learning students. I need to ensure the materials are clear enough to aid their comprehension.

All students deserve the best! I hope my project gets funded so I may provide my students with the best learning experiences possible. My students and I thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
