Research...The Seed of Knowledge

My students need a Samsung Galaxy tablet, a dock and a screen protector to search the web for information - they need to have resources they can use to learn more about the topics they research.

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

How does searching the web look at this fifth grade classroom? Well, 24 faces = 48 hands and 1 computer.

They are curious, dynamic, intelligent, risk takers, creative, and much more.

Yes! That is what my students are. They are so curious about the world, and want to learn. Working in groups can be challenging, but not in this class. Even with the limited amount of resources, we are still optimistic and enthusiastic about the future - that one day we will have more than one or two tablets to search the world.

My Project

Your donation will allow over 75 students take a closer look at the world - to learn that possibilities are endless. In today's society, children need to be prepared with not only basic knowledge but also with up-to-date skills. This tablet will let students search the web for resources/information to complete projects of high interest.

I am very optimistic that this project could be founded.

Your support will benefit students for years to come and will set the example that if you search and try....many marvelous things can happen. In this case....a tablet!
