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

Before you walk into our school, you may see on paper that we are a Title I school with a majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

We've struggled through Hurricane Harvey and Covid-19 and have limited resources for our students.

However, what you will see in person is a dynamic group of young, driven leaders, who through "The Leader in Me" process are making their mark in our world. We are a Lighthouse Leader in Me/Magnet Fine Arts school, which has helped transform all of our students into global thinkers who believe they can do anything they set their minds to.

My Project

There are many opportunities technology brings to the classroom. Students are able to use iPads for projects that include pictures. They are able to turn those projects into masterpieces.

These replacement chargers will help continue the growth and creativity of my students.

Students can also use chromebooks to continue their education. They are able to learn typing to quickly write their ideas on screen. This can also assist with projects through google docs, slides, and forms. If a student has difficulty reading, the iPads and chromebooks help my students use apps such as MyOn to get books on their level read to them.
