Help me give my students laptops to enhance and engage learning beyond the classroom and successfully engage with technology as a 21st-century learner.

Celebrating 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
My students create a unique dynamic within our classroom environment. Our classroom consists of 36-second graders that are eager to learn. We have students with ranging special needs and learning modalities. Despite their differences, each student thrives to achieve their best potential on a daily basis while receiving their instruction and daily services.
With the help of our community, my goal is to provide a hands-on learning environment that is going to encourage every student to be an active participant in their learning while instilling positive, age-appropriate, and developmentally appropriate social-emotional growth.
My Project
Our class consists of 36 second graders that are eager to learn and explore the world within their horizon and beyond. With the opportunity for laptops and technology, all learners, including those with special needs, those with a hands-on learning style, and those ready to go one step beyond, we would be able to provide a stimulating learning environment. A learning environment that encourages students to pose inquisitive questions that involve the scientific process. A learning environment that creates critical math thinkers to problem solve and provide various solutions.
With our laptops, we would be able to have a consistent learning environment that connects what we are learning at school with our home and community.
My students would be able to strengthen their math fluency skills through interactive math programs. Students would also be able to partake in math readiness programs that meet them at their level and foster growth. Additionally, students would be able to document their growth by using age and developmentally appropriate charts that encourage progress and success. All skills that are necessary in developing independent 21st century learners.
More than a third of 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
