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 Students

Computers help to motivate students. Having quality assignments help to make learning fun and eventful. Please help me to accommodate my students' needs. I am asking for Microsoft Office Professional Academic 2010 - complete package,and colored ink for their computers.

The students in my Early Education classroom try very hard to learn to read and follow directions.

Each one of them must learn with their unique way of learning due to their disabilities. It is gratifying to see them learn with all of their accommodations made in the classroom to use visuals, and manipulatives. They can learn to count, read, and write. They attend a low income school, and we are not able to afford to provide our students with Microsoft word for their computers. Thank you for your support.

My Project

My students will be able to access the curriculum through visuals provided by the Microsoft Office Professional Academic 2010 - complete package,and color ink. With Microsoft Word and color ink; I will be able to create colorful, motivating, assignments where the students will enjoy learning. I will also be able to make circle maps and cut and paste projects. These projects will motivate my students and help them to retain information.

Looking at a colorful circle map adds life to their work which will help them to access the curriculum.

They will no longer have to guess what the teacher drew but see their thoughts in pictures.
