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

Imagine stepping into a classroom in a new country, surrounded by unfamiliar words and concepts, all presented in dull black and white. For my elementary ESL students, many of whom are newcomers with limited English proficiency, vibrant visuals are not just helpful—they’re essential. Research shows that colorful, engaging materials make it easier for students to connect new information to their prior knowledge and stay motivated to learn.

Unfortunately, our ESL team doesn’t have the funds to purchase colored toner for our classroom printer this year.

This means my students are missing out on high-quality, engaging resources like colorful vocabulary flashcards, interactive games, and culturally relevant images that can make a world of difference in their learning experience. With your support, I can transform their classroom materials, giving my students the tools they need to thrive academically and build confidence in their new language.
