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 Project

I am a preschool teacher to an amazing group of dual-language learners. Our classroom is in need of a reliable desktop computer. For years, we've depended on a desktop to support our daily activities, but it is no longer functional. We have an aging laptop with a failing battery, and we're struggling to keep up with the demands of modern learning.

This essential tool will enhance student learning, support small group instruction, and streamline classroom routines.

A new computer will provide stability needed to focus on student learning without interruptions caused by old technology or an old dead battery. Students will explore learning in small groups using digital slides, ABC Mouse, and Khan Academy apps that are approved by our district. As a teacher, it will allow me to manage everyday procedural tasks efficiently, host Zoom meetings with parents, host parent involvement meetings, and trainings sessions.

With your support, you will ensure that we have the technology needed for student growth and success!
