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 absolutely love my students’ enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, especially when it comes to incorporating technology into the classroom. They are quick to adapt, creative in their approach to problem-solving, and always ready to tackle new challenges. These qualities make them special and deserving of every opportunity to succeed.

The specific items I’m requesting—batteries for 32 wireless keyboards and mice—may seem small, but they will make a significant impact on their learning experience.

Our classroom relies on wireless technology to provide a flexible and organized environment where students can work efficiently without the clutter of cords. Having fully functioning keyboards and mice will allow my students to engage seamlessly with interactive lessons, complete digital assignments, and collaborate on projects without interruptions. It will also foster their computer literacy and tech skills, which are essential for their future success.

My goal for this project is to ensure that technology in the classroom is always available and reliable, allowing my students to stay focused on learning and making the most of the digital resources at their disposal. This project will help create a smooth learning experience, where students can explore, create, and collaborate without technical difficulties getting in the way.

What makes my students special is their drive to overcome challenges and embrace new ways of learning. They are resourceful, determined, and always ready to make the best of what’s available to them. By providing something as simple as batteries for our wireless keyboards and mice, I can help ensure that my students have the tools they need to fully participate in their education.
