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.

Hello. My public school is primarily Hispanic with many of my K-5 elementary students unable to read, speak, or write English at their grade level. In addition, this area is in an urban, high poverty area. Since my previous school closed last June, I taught summer school here and quickly immersed myself into the culture of this school. Students are eager to learn and have a culture that values being respectful to other students and adults. As a result, students are quick learners and high achievers.

The situation is that I do not have enough computers for all of the students in some of my classes. Students can share sometimes, but most often they need to work on individual assignments.

The solution is the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA Atom N280. This netbook will allow students to access the web subscription web sites I have such as Study Island and SRA Phonics Online. Our school is increasing student achievement by using academic web subscriptions that are individualized and differentiated for each student. No matter the hardware platform - Windows or Mac - and no matter what browser - Explorer, Safari, or Firefox - students can access the website whether they have a desktop, laptop, or netbook. The most cost effective solution is a very reasonably priced netbook. Asus started the netbooks and are best in this class. Students will have a chance to learn Windows 7 by using this netbook.

Without your help this technology resource will not be available to my students. There is simply no budget for this type of technology. Donors Choose donors are the best in the world. Your individual contribution is a direct connection to my students. This unique service has provided essential resources to my students for the past several years, and I could not function in my classroom without your generous support. Please consider funding this project for a netbook. Be assured that you will receive detailed feedback as the project progresses including pictures of the children and thank you notes from them.
