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

This project aims to allow students in my ELL Special Education Self-Contained class to achieve success beyond what others see. My students come from low-income homes, and we need support in every aspect. I want to create and laminate individualized hands-on activities for each student. Our classroom needs a laminator for quicker access. I would also like to add new expo markers, sharpie markers, recordable buttons and an electric stapler. In order to create all individualized activities we need cardstock and laminating sheets, as well as chart paper to create anchor charts.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
