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

My students are 6th through 12th Grade English Language Learners. They come from very diverse backgrounds and experiences, migrating from countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, Haiti, Puerto Rico, China, and Cuba. Our school is composed of students from in a low socioeconomic status. Our school is a Title I school, where 85% of students receive free or reduced- price lunch.

My class not only supports language acquisition, but also allows students the study skills and culture to allow them to become life-long learners.

My students are curious about the world around them, and eager to learn and share their experiences with others.

My Project

By having access to a color printer, my students will be able to integrate technology into their every-day learning strategies. They will have vivid visual aids to increase their depth in understanding and building their academic vocabulary. In class, we will be able to print the appropriate images to make a direct connection from text to the real world.

For both my middle and high school classes, a color printer and ink will support my instruction and aid my students in completing necessary assignments.

Colorful printed material enhances the brain’s attention areas to become better focused and engaged in sensory input. Access to a color printer will also impact student learning environment and interaction within our classroom.
