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
The students in my classroom are active learners. They are very independent workers. Most come from lower economic homes and have very little resources at their disposal. I also have a lot of students who are bilingual and English is their second language. Students in my classroom are thinkers and problem solvers. They dive into all areas of the curriculum and read about it, explore it, question it, and develop a good understanding of the subject or topic we are learning about. We are in an open pod school pod with 3 other classes.
My Project
In my classroom, I use my current projector daily and it needs to be replaced. The picture clarity is not very good and I would love to have a new projector for my students. The new projector will allow them to see what I am teaching clearly.
Daily lessons are projected to help students see and be engaged in my lessons.
Without a good projector, students have a hard time seeing what I am teaching. I need to teach the students using all the instructional technology required for the curriculum in my classroom. If the students can not see what I am teaching, their learning needs are not being met.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
