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 are bright, energetic, inner-city children that deserve the same educational opportunities as students in suburban districts that surround Philadelphia, experience.
Unfortunately, due to the unbalanced funding formula used by our state, our district continues to struggle to provide the bare necessities to the children at greatest risk.
Our children live in an impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhood, known throughout Philadelphia, for drug activity and violence. Our rather large K-4 school has become the center of our children's neighborhood. Our school is a place where the children are safe, loved, and most importantly educated. With the budget crisis we face, our students have been subjected to larger classroom size, cuts in personnel, including the school librarian and essential support materials in every core subject.
My Project
At the current time, we are blessed to have a brand new Chromebook cart in our classroom. Unfortunately, we only have eight Chromebooks to share between thirty-two students on a cart capable of holding thirty individual computers. It is our goal to fill the cart over the next two years.
If this project is funded it will allow about one-half of my students to access technology during each and every school day.
My students will be able to access intervention programs offered by our district as well as enrichment activities. In addition, the students can work on long range projects involving coding and film making. It is my belief that proper exposure to technology will enhance my students academic ventures and prepare them for future careers in our ever changing technological world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
