Celebrating 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.
Our Language Arts and Social Justice Magnet School emphasizes the respect of self and others. This encompasses discipline and high expectations as well as activism and compassion. The kids know they will be Agents of Change and follow our school motto, "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Ghandi
We are classified as a "highest poverty" school and the kids at our school are brilliant.
They deserve excellent educational resources. Although my kids may lack financial resources, they have an incredible work ethic and desire to learn. We are a full Title I school, a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced lunches.
Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided with enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.
My Project
"Is it my turn? When am I going to be able to type?" My second grade students sometimes wait two or three days before being able to create documents, practice their powerpoint skills, or complete a research project. They need a new laptop!
Your donation would give my kids, who often do not have a computer at home, a chance to compete in the world and boost their motivation to study and create.
With one more machine, the turn around will be faster. However, students will be able to research and improve in all traditional academic disciplines while acquiring 21st century skills. I constantly modify our classroom website, and post new activities according to the students' needs. Additionally, they would be able to practice computer programming with Code.org.!
Your contribution would truly change the dynamics of the classroom. It would ensure that the whole class has access to technology and acquire the skills it'll need to be successful!
Thank you in advance for making a difference in the kids' lives!
