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 Students

The students in my class are hard working students. They show perseverance, and they have good character. They are enthusiastic learners who have a passion for learning and living. My school is located in the heart of a community in a busy city in Southern California. A majority of our students are of Latin descent and come from homes where Spanish is the primary language spoken.

My students come from low-income, economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. As if suffering from the effects of poverty wasn't enough, many of my students are being exposed to domestic violence, child abuse, neglect, lack of health care, hunger, homelessness, and substance abuse. Their families do not have access to resources and there is very little support at home. Nevertheless, my students show an appreciative joy and have a positive attitude when they come to school each day.

My Project

I would love to provide my first graders with color printed materials to add to the daily work stations to make them more appealing and engaging. In our school currently, we have no access to a color printer so I have to pay for color copies out of pocket.

Having a color printer in my classroom will give me the opportunity to provide more engaging materials as well as printing out pictures of memorable moments to display around our classroom.

This printer will be a wonderful tool; it will allow me to print images and visuals for my students, most of them whom are English Language Learners or have speech disabilities, to help them build vocabulary and make connections to real life.
