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

My students come from many different countries across the globe. They speak multiple languages and have some incredible life stories that I love to listen to as I learn about each of them. Their experiences are both incredible and harrowing, and yet we all come together in the same classroom to find comfort, education, a positive environment, and a unique learning experience.

What makes these students so special is that they come from around the world and all have something to teach each other, and they always have something to teach me.

Each year, I learn a great deal about my students and about the experiences they've had and the places they've been. In a world where new technology and traditional education is always at our fingertips, it's meaningful for me as a teacher to expose my students to special opportunities, unique trips, and a comfortable setting where learning is evident and expected, and all students remain engaged so that we can try new things and always remain successful. I hope to engage disengaged students by giving them reasons to come to school and get excited about learning!

My Project

This project is very simple- ink! Although we are trying to transition to a digital world, being 100% online is unrealistic and we need this basic classroom necessity.

This project is a simple request- ink cartridges for the classroom printer of the teacher and co-teacher!

With this project, we can print assignments and necessary documents for our students who forgot a laptop, forgot a charger, prefer to write, are new to the classroom, and so much more. It will also allow me to print student work, student assignments, sub plans, student rosters, fire drill procedures and signs, permission slips, and so, so much more and have things ready and available in the classroom as needed. It's sad that our school won't provide ink for us, and we don't always have time or availability to run downstairs when we need to print something, so this project will help us all in so many ways.
