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

A working printer and a supply of ink will help my students have access to printed worksheets that will help them build their reading fluency and comprehension skills. The visual images that I will be able to print with our own classroom printer will keep the students engaged and interested in reading stories about a variety of topics in science and history.

My students deserve to see infographics and illustrations in color without being limited by our school-wide budget.

The printer will also allow my students to have printed copies of their essays and projects.
