Help me give my students access for English language learners by printing lesson materials from English to Spanish and other languages. This will give them the opportunity to read text in their own language and be academically successful.

My Project
My goal is to ensure each English Learner will have access to their subject area books by allowing for copy material in their native language. We have a population of low income, inner city students who come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Our student population is primarily African Americans and Latinx Students. Out of these students we have a high population of diverse learners and cluster students who do not have the resources to succeed. Recently, we have had an influx of refugees from Latin American and South American countries who do not speak English. We need copy paper to print out materials/books for them in their own language.
So often we find ourselves looking for paper in order to copy materials for our EL students.
Unfortunately, the issue we are experiencing is that we only have books in English and teachers have to search online for the Spanish versions of the books needed for class. The school does not have paper in the budget and we have to use their own money to print out these materials. I want to lessen the burden of going out and buying copy paper to supplement these materials. Having paper and pencils to support our Els in their language, will not only help them gain access to the material but will strengthen their learning and help them succeed.
