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 fifth-grade students are amazed at unlimited potential​but limited resources to fully explore their ideas. The students come from low-income homes where for some, they only interact with educational items at school. Our entire school receives free breakfast and lunch,

My students have a genuine love for learning.

They love to come in early and stay late to help and learn. I want to be able to nurture that love before it is lost. Every year I have the pleasure of teaching students of varying abilities, from highly gifted learners to special needs students, but they all bring the same thing to my class: the love of learning and the eagerness to do their best. Being a person with a disability myself, I want to show them that anyone can succeed regardless of their limitations. I want to fulfill my duty and give them every opportunity they deserve.

Because of Covid, things have become even more difficult, and teaching a hybrid class brings its own challenges. Technology has become a huge factor in being able to reach all my students. I want to give them every chance to succeed.

My Project

My students receive district issued laptops. The problem arises when their computers break or are non-operational. They turn the computer into the tech department but can be left for days without a computer to work on. There are times when up to 4 students are in need of a computer for various reasons.

This computer would allow them to continue to work on classwork assignments without missing a beat.

This would be especially be helpful for the students who are currently needing to working from home, as their only connection to school will be gone. As we move forwards the computer will be used for any new students who are entered and waiting for computers as well as it can take up to a week waiting for a computer.
