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 Students

Please help develop financial literacy in my young learners by providing our class with an additional iPad. We will use the iPad to run math apps so we can practice counting, learn the names and values of coins, and practice addition, subtraction, and other beginning math skills.

I teach at a wonderful, multi-cultural, public school located in the San Fernando Valley.

We are a high poverty school, and many of my students come from economically disadvantaged homes. My class includes students who are both English and non-English speakers, as well as students with disabilities. All of my students are anxious and excited about learning and coming to school! Even at their young age, they can learn the beginning math skills that they will need to one day become financially literate adults.

My Project

I want my students to develop strong math skills. The iPad will help me in this endeavor by providing fun apps that the children can use to learn money and counting skills. "Learning Money With Leo" and "Jungle Coins" are two such apps. These apps teach money concepts in fun ways, and were developed for young children. The iPad is the most popular learning tool in the classroom. It can be used in so many wonderful ways to help students learn. I have set up a center in our classroom where my students go to work individually with iPads. If this project is funded, our technology center will finally be complete, and we will have enough iPads so that a small group will all be able to have an iPad of their own to work with.

By funding this proposal, you will be giving my students an iPad that they can use to learn counting and money concepts, to help them develop financial literacy.

It is only with the kindness of donors such as you that we can make this project a reality for my students!
