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

These materials will make a major impact on student learning. The pencils and pencil sharpener will provide access to curriculum tasks for students who may not be able to afford pencils.

The EPSON EcoTank printer with extra ink will provide students with documents that are in color to use in stations to enhance learning.

The laminate pouches will be used to laminate the colored documents so that they can be used again. The zipper pouches will hold the documents that have been laminated.

The two Acer computer monitors will be used to create student computer stations so that a group of students can view documents and websites to conduct research for academic learning.
