A Distance Learning Essential

Help me give my students the best instruction I can by having the best resource at my finger tips to reach them from my home to theirs. An Apple MacBook Air laptop is essential for distance learning.

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

The students at my school are part of an inner city community where they have very few opportunities to experience hands-on activities. My students are second grade students in a STEAM Magnet program. Our campus recently added a STEAM Magnet class to each grade level and these students are excited about this opportunity. Not only do they show perseverance in school but they also do so in their everyday lives. They work very hard and hope for a better future, despite the circumstances that surround them. Students need various opportunities to experience Reading, Social Studies, Hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.

My Project

Learning must continue whether it be from home or at school. Children need the best education they can receive. Please help equip their teacher with the best resource available to reach them.

An Apple Air Mac laptop will help me reach each and everyone of my students during distance learning.

This tool will enable me to provide content-rich lessons, communicate effectively, and provide feedback to my second grade class.

I need a tool that is quick, effective, reliable, and capable for me to meet the needs of my students. A laptop computer is essential for me to be effective as an educator.
