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
I love my students so I want to make a difference in their lives. When a student comes through my door, they become one of my kids. I want to push them to their full potential and watch them succeed. I grew up in the neighborhood where I now teach. I want to be that role model for them. My students come from the inner city and are economically disadvantaged however, I teach them to have that grit and follow their dreams with endless possibilities.
What makes my classroom so special is they get to take journeys to different places, meet heroes and historical people, and gain so much knowledge through literature.
Initially, reading is usually their last choice as a favorite subject. However, by the end of the semester, the students have a change of heart and fall in love with reading. I always tell my students that “Readers are leaders and reading is the foundation of academic success.”
My Project
COVID-19 is a new challenge that has brought us into uncharted territory, with our low-income students not prepared for it. We're trying to do distance learning without proper technology available for our students. My students and I need a Wacom tablet to continue their learning journey in this changing world. I need this special tablet to continue supporting my students' learning and in order to meet their academic needs.
The Wacom Tablet will be used to do online lessons where I am able to project interactive lessons in all content areas from math, reading, language arts, science, and social studies.
They will be able to join me on Teams for online live lessons. This is our new normal standard for education. Please help me convey great lessons using this special tablet. My students need this technology so I can support their new learning, therefore, let's give them the same opportunity.
Nearly all 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
