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

I am requesting a laminating machine and sheets for our classroom. Laminating student work not only helps me produce long-lasting visual aids like charts, graphs, posters, that improve our instruction year after year, but it also saves their learning materials, which is important in our attempts to decrease paper waste and promote sustainability. We can make the most of our teaching time if we have access to a laminator. The laminator will be utilized to produce instructional resources that assist our pupils' literacy development, such as math cards and writing papers with space for practice writing inside the lines. As students interact with the learning resources, the laminated materials' longevity will guarantee continued high levels of engagement and participation from the students.

My second graders are creative and hardworking!

Despite the fact that the majority of them come from low-income families, they nevertheless strive to learn and complete their daily tasks assigned to them. They need a laminator, which our school is unable to offer, in order to preserve their work.
