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

Never has society so rapidly changed. How can we pretend to educate the citizens of tomorrow without the proper equipment? Children should have equal access to computers and use these tools to enhance their skills. Unfortunately, my students do not even have one computer in our classroom.

My public school tries to offer the best to our kids who come from economically disadvantaged families.

75% of our students are African American alongside with Latin and Asian children. This situation offers unlimited opportunities to learn tolerance and team work while discovering new perspectives. However, our school and our families can't afford the sources we need to support academic knowledge and significantly improve student achievement.

My Project

A new laptop will enable students to access my website where I can post my video-lessons for review, practice games I created, and take quizzes. I could follow their progress as they will be working independently. A new laptop will also help students to review vocabulary through slide shows. This will familiarize them with PowerPoint and motivate them to create their own. Children may take turn writing letters or researching for a report. The speed of this new machine will allow more students to work at it. This computer would definitely make a difference in the class!

My students need one new laptop.

Only generous donors could help us now and improve the kids` education. By donating to this project, you will give my students an advantage. By helping to provide the new laptop in the classroom, you will have helped level the playing field; allowing students who do not have access to such technology at home a chance to have such at school. Thank you.
