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 a 6th-grade special education teacher. My scholars are funny and energetic and they try their best every day. I service between 15-20 students with varying disabilities.

I am hoping to add a printer to my classroom to support my kinesthetic learners.

My school building has a limited number of printers, which cannot keep up with the demand of so many teachers. There seems to always be a broken printer, meaning I cannot print materials for my scholars and our lessons. I don't want a lack of materials to be a barrier to their learning.
