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

Think of how engaged and willing to learn my students would be if they could practice their skills on a tablet!

My school is located in Louisiana in a high poverty area.

It is a public school where almost all the students are receiving free or reduced lunch. The children I teach are the most appreciative young people that I have ever met. They are not privileged at all, so they truly appreciate the resources and experiences I provide for them. For this reason, I want to make learning as fun and engaging as possible. I want school to be a positive experience for them and I want it to encourage them to be lifelong lovers of learning.

My Project

With this tablet and keyboard in my classroom, I can make the most of every moment my students and I have together. I can use this tablet to enrich our learning environment. Once we have mastered a skill, we can play a game that will reinforce that learning. Also, in my small group I can truly have active participation. We can work together and actually have a visual for what we are looking at. I feel that with this tablet, my students can become more successful. I am also hoping that it will inspire them to pull away from video games and focus more on educational learning games. I want them to know that these can be as fun as those games they love so much.

With your help, we could get this tablet.

One small tablet could have such a huge impact on the best group of young minds around. I promise to make this tablet an instrumental part of our daily learning. This could have such a positive impact on my babies. My students deserve the world and with your help hopefully we can provide them with a small technological piece.
