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

In a world of technology and computer focused learning, I have found that often it is best to get back to the basics. Many of my special education students struggle to focus when working with digital tools that require frequent scrolling, which can lead to skimming and fragmented learning.

In studies, the use of color in printed materials have been shown to improve learning out comes like retention and recall, as well as lengthen student's attention spans.

In my classroom I have an old black and white printer that seems to have a mind of its own as to when to work and when not to. I hope to have a reliable color printer that will provide my students materials in an exciting and timely manner to enhance my lessons.

My students, with their specific learning needs, will benefit by seeing their own writings and projects printed, polished and more professionally showcased to share proudly with their peers, parents and school community.

Thanks so much in advance for considering funding my project.
