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 Project

My students received some older iPads when the pandemic started, in order to be able to join in virtual leaning. Even though we are back to live instruction, the use of technology is very much part of our daily routines. Sadly, with the constant use, many of the chargers are no longer in working conditions. Many times my students have to share devices because their own device is not charged, thus losing important opportunities to growth academically.

The chargers I am requesting for my students will give them the power to empower themselves to move towards mastery of their first grade standards through the use of technology.

Their daily activities will no longer be interrupted because of lack of power. The presentation clicker will become an essential tool in my daily instruction as I will be able to present my slides while being in close proximity to my students and provide them with the support they need.
