My students need Chromebooks and sleeves, headphones, and a 12-outlet power strip in order to create a 21st century classroom with the technology they need to be successful.

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.
The students I teach are enthusiastic, curious, and passionate about learning. They enjoy working on laptops in small groups with other students on various research projects.
Nearly all of the children I teach here at our Title I school in the inner city come from hard-working immigrant parents that strongly value education.
Although many of my students come from backgrounds of substantial economic hardship, you wouldn't know it by looking at their eager faces. They love coming to school and learning new things.
My Project
My students are taking a virtual roadtrip with their classmates to visit some of the National Parks! Along the way they'll have to budget their money and make sure they have the funds to get to their chosen destination.
I can't wait to see how they budget their money for their gas, food, lodging, entrance fees to the parks, and other incidentals along the way.
Their goal is to log and record all of the trips costs and figure out a way to stay within their budget. Since they're driving, they'll have to calculate gas mileage, and figure out which hotels will provide the best value for their budgets.
Thanks to 2 previous DonorsChoose projects, I've been able to bring 7 laptops into our classroom. If this project is funded that number will increase to 12, enabling many more of my students to have access to technology on a daily basis. I thank you in advance for helping us to bridge the technological divide. We are heartened by your support!
