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

My 6th grade math students are bright, hardworking, and eager to learn. Many come from low-income households and are part of our Title I program. A significant portion of my class are English Language Learners (ELLs), and they’re navigating the challenge of learning math while also learning English. Despite these obstacles, they show up every day ready to grow.

What they need is support that meets them where they are — both linguistically and academically.

To meet the needs of my diverse classroom, I’m requesting an iPad, stylus, and screen protector. These tools will allow me to:

Use translation apps and digital supports for my ELL students

Collect and analyze real-time assessment data

Create and update differentiated lesson plans on the go

Document learning progress visually and clearly

Deliver more responsive, inclusive instruction

This single device will make a huge difference — equipping me to teach with greater precision and purpose. It’s not just a tech upgrade; it’s an equity tool.

My students are eager to learn, but many of them face challenges that make traditional instruction harder to access. With a high number of English Language Learners and students from low-income households, I must provide lessons that are both understandable and personalized. This project will allow me to break down language barriers, track progress more effectively, and tailor instruction to individual learning needs. When students feel seen and supported, their confidence grows — and so does their achievement. This iPad will help ensure that no one gets left behind.

Budget Justification

iPad – Used daily for formative assessment, lesson planning, data tracking, and translation for ELL support

Stylus – Enables precise annotation and modeling of math problems during instruction and feedback

Screen Protector – Keeps the iPad safe for long-term use in an active classroom environment
