Celebrating 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 enjoy school immensely. Sometimes they get so excited about learning it seems they will just burst. It is infectious.
My students are from a high-poverty region and are predominantly bilingual or English Language Learners.
They and their families are motivated learners. Some of our parents even come to school to learn along with their children. They are all excited to discover and explore. My amazing kids are deserving of so much more than their economic status currently allows and I want to do everything I can to help them reach a brighter future.
My Project
To the sadness of students and teachers, our beloved hot laminator of 23+ years was finally sent to the technology graveyard. We desperately need a new laminator and film in order to help preserve student work and protect displays and resources around the school.
With a new laminator, students and teachers can preserve materials and projects so they stand up to the test of time.
Having access to a laminating machine in our school will allow me, and other teachers, to create and provide resources to students that can be used over and over again without having to make repeated copies. Students are learning to take care of their resources in the school. This includes displays, flashcards, and reference pieces used at learning centers. A laminator will protect these resources used by all students so they can be used and reused many times.
The laminating machine will also be used to preserve finished student projects, protecting them from bumpy backpacks, water drips, and messy hands. Parents can hold cherished items from their 5-year old until they are displayed at high school graduation! That's valuable!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
