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 printer would help provide my special education and ESL (English Learners) students with color pictures and promote their cognitive skills. Having a printer would be helpful when creating color centers and group activities. The color printer will also enable me to create visual aids, charts, and colorful assignments. Having a printer will also allow me to provide an organized environment through color-coded bins or centers. Many of my special education students have difficulties connecting subjects in the classroom to the outside world; having a color printer where I can incorporate real-life pictures will help them tremendously. 90% of my students are English learners, and including color pictures when introducing vocabulary will greatly help them relate the word with the item.

Please help me give my students a color printer to print fun, colorful, and visually appealing activities.

A color laser printer will not only facilitate better learning experiences but will also boost their confidence. The printer will give me the materials to create engaging learning resources and much more for my students. The color printer and ink will make a huge difference in my students' learning environment. With your support, I will give my students daily colorful activities that are fun, engaging, and visually appealing. Any donations towards this project will be greatly appreciated not only by myself but by my students.
