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 Students

I teach first grade in a Title I funded, public school in a low-income area of the Bronx where over 100% of our students receive free lunch. Although many of my students face adversity, their challenges do not define their ability to learn and be successful. I teach sixteen of the sweetest and most eager six-year-olds. Their desire to learn despite all the obstacles they face is so inspiring.

My Project

Having access to a color printer will allow me to print out engaging visuals to help facilitate my lessons and spark interest in my students. This printer will enable me to create posters, various visual aids, charts, activities, and assignments in color for my students. I will be able to display student pictures and visual aids. This printer will ensure that I will have the materials needed to create engaging learning resources and so much more for my students.

The children in the class strive to be the best at everything they do, and with the right materials, we can make this happen for each of the children.

This project is for a wireless color printer for my first grade classroom. A color printer will brighten up my classroom and create a more engaging classroom environment. My students are between five and six years old so they need various visual aids and print that will be appealing and helpful to their learning.
