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

My students are all English language learners living in the inner city. They all come from different countries of Latin America. They are eager to learn daily. It brings a smile to my face every morning that I greet them. They enjoy learning new things such as reading, writing, math, art, and cooking.

My students are committed to learning.

They show up on time everyday prepared to take advantage of our public school system education. Our school has very limited funding for additional resources to enhance our students learning environment.

There is no doubt in my mind that I am teaching tomorrow's leaders.

My Project

My kindergarteners will be able to expand their knowledge of literacy and mathematics through technology with the MacBook Air.

Students will be given the opportunity to tackle crucial steps in their education by putting their Math and English skills to use when interacting with applications on the MacBook.

Students will also be able to interact with peers by participating in virtual activities and have access to the internet for research purposes. By doing so, students will have the tools they need to approach kindergarten-related challenges.

Our future is in the hands of these children, let's make it happen for them!
