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 love my students’ resilience, curiosity, and kindness. They are eager to learn and grow, even in challenging circumstances. Providing laptops will give them access to engaging digital social-emotional curriculum, allowing them to develop essential skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. These resources will help each student build confidence, improve their communication, and foster a supportive classroom environment where they can thrive academically and personally.

The laptops will make a significant difference in my students' learning by providing them with the tools they need to actively participate in their social-emotional education.

With access to these devices, students can complete interactive lessons, practice essential skills like empathy and self-awareness, and receive personalized feedback. This technology will help make learning more engaging, accessible, and meaningful for each student.

My goal for this project is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to develop vital social-emotional skills that will benefit them both in school and in life. I want to create a supportive environment where they can build confidence, manage their emotions, and improve their relationships with others. My students are truly special because they show resilience, kindness, and a strong desire to learn, even when faced with challenges. Giving them these resources will help them reach their full potential and grow into confident, compassionate individuals.
