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 preschool students are eager learners who embrace technology every chance they get. Unfortunately, we do not have access to computers in the classroom and having an HP Mini would be a dream come true for them.

My students attend their neighborhood public school, in a low-income, high poverty area of the city.

A majority of them are English language learners, whose native language includes Spanish, Karen and Arabic. They range in ages from three to five, and love coming to school and learning with their peers, despite our lack of resources.

My Project

Having an HP Mini Netbook to use in the classroom will make my students even more eager to come to school and feel empowered at the same time. I am constantly looking for new ways to keep my students engaged in the learning process and this netbook would be the perfect tool. Not only will they gain technology skills that are essential in the 21st century, they will also gain a sense of responsibility when handling the netbook. Because the space in our room is limited, a netbook would be the perfect addition to our classroom because of its size and mobility. No matter what theme or concept we are learning, an HP Mini Netbook would enhance my students learning experience, and I can't wait to witness this in action.

Your generous donation will give my preschool students a chance at using a laptop, something many of them have never experienced.

Since my students come from low-income households, they are less likely to have access to such technology at home. Your donation will ensure that my students will have access to technology in the classroom that will have a tremendous impact in their academic success. Thank you in advance!
