Celebrating 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
A photo speaks loudly and gives me the opportunity to connect with parents and show them what their child and classmates are doing during the school day. A photo is a shared time capsule of students during their elementary years.
I am requesting a camera to capture all these moments and post these pictures in our classroom and share them with my students' families.
Working parents miss our performances, which are always held during the day, so this is a way to recapture the moment. Artwork, academics, and friendships can all be captured on paper for all to see. This camera would also be shared to take photos of all the wonderful school events, celebrations, and programs our school offers. Thank you for reading our project and possibly coloring our world with print.
