We need 4 Chromebooks to help our US History teacher make a class set so 8th graders can do projects in History that integrate technology.

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.
About My Students
The students submitting this project are 7th graders who are looking forward to being 8th graders next year. Their names are Delaina, Victoria, and Martha, and these students are ready to help make our school a better place.
They are hardworking, kind and enthusiastic. They are involved in many activities on campus and believe in the power of technology to make the world a better place. They are looking forward to being leaders on campus and academic and behavioral role models in our school.
My students are studying how art reflects values. They are using their Language Arts skills to write grants that reflect their own personal values. The students in this group value education, technology, and helping others, and they hope to use their persuasive writing to convince you to support their grant that provides technology for the 8th grade US History class. Our school is a high poverty school, and some students do not have access to technology at home. This group wants to support their peers by providing these computers for students to use in class. This group is really thinking beyond themselves and considering their peers who may have fewer resources. In preparing this project, these students are also using 21st century skills of critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. Thank you for taking the time to read their grant. If you value education, technology, and helping others, this is the project for you!
In Their Own Words
Our group values education, We have decided to put this value into action by buying Chromebooks for Mr. K's class. We hope that by giving Mr. K Chromebooks, we will provide part of a class set so that students who may not have a computer at home can use these at school. We also really like this teacher, and we want to help him get the supplies he needs to teach his class. Mr. K is a really kind teacher! We hope we get to be in his class next year.
We will be leaders in this project by making sure that Mr. K gets the Chromebooks when they arrive. We will also help set them up, and we will talk to the other students about taking care of the Chromebooks when we use them during our History class next year.
This project is important to our school for many reasons. First of all, we are helping students who may not have computers to use at home. We are also helping Mr. K get the technology he needs to teach his class. Finally, we are helping make History more interesting by getting computers that will help us do projects.
