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
Before you walk into my school, you may see on paper that we are a Title I school with a majority of students receiving free or reduced price lunch.
We've struggled through Hurricane Harvey and have limited resources for our students.
However, what you will see in person is a dynamic group of young, driven leaders, who through "The Leader in Me" process are making their mark in our world. We are a Lighthouse Leader in Me/Magnet Fine Arts school, which has helped transform all of our students into global thinkers who believe they have a chance in life.
My Project
Most of my students have not had the opportunity to learn a basic technology skill, typing. My students are in the fifth grade and rarely have time in the computer lab. Without these opportunities, my kids are falling behind.
My students will struggle with most jobs if they do not have the opportunity to feel more comfortable with computers.
Having this updated technology will allow for more STEM opportunities and projects. Students will be able to create power points, presentations and be creative using programs. Students will also use these Chromebooks to research, write, and create projects for higher level learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
