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.

My Students

We may live in a city that is considered the most dangerous city in the United States but that is not who we are as individuals. We want to prove that we can achieve and be successful. We come from different countries trying to become part of this new world. All we ask is to be given the opportunity to succeed. Become part of the society that shows us that we matter.

Living in a dangerous city is not what determines what we will become, they want to achieve and be successful.

Our daily lives are full of danger but we come to school ready to learn and work hard to beat that danger. Give us a chance to be what we know we can be, SUCCESSFUL!

My Project

All students in the bilingual program are expected to learn English and the iPad Pro will help them to do it in a fun and exciting way. Everyday they have to deal with challenges beginning with not being able to understand the new language they are surrounded by on a daily basis.

Challenges are all around us but this project will be a step to overcome those challenges.

Please gives us the opportunity to enjoy our learning to become successful in our educational life. What better way to show us that there are great people in the world that care about our learning.
