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

"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still." - Ernst Hass

After engaging my previous 4th grade class through a photography club, I've had the privilege of rolling over to 5th grade with many of them.

My students are still very passionate about photography and are now looking to enter photos into contests and also showcase their work around the school.

My class is located in a high poverty/high needs area located in NYC. The class is predominantly Hispanic and Black with a mixture of both English Language Learners, general education students, and special needs students. My students display creativity through art, music, and dance; many are just learning to use photography as a way of expression. By opening their eyes and sharing my passion for photography, I know I will be able to leave a lasting memory on them.

My Project

The materials will make a difference in my students view of what education is. Located in a high poverty area where artistic outlets are very limited, this small printer will serve as a new way to showcase our photographic talents, while improving the atmosphere of not only our classroom, but the entire school.

After introducing my students to photography, I saw their confidence levels skyrocket.

With these materials I am positive that they will be even more dedicated to this newly introduced form of art. They will have opportunities to show off their pictures to other classmates, educators, and their parents.
