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 come from hard working and dedicated families. Unfortunately most of them don't have enough resources to be able to afford all the supplies needed to be successful. Many of them don't have computers or access to technology.
A very high percentage of my students come from immigrant families in the process of assimilating to life in this country.
School provides these students not only with the academic skills needed to be able to move forward, but also the essential tools needed to assimilate to our culture and way of life.
In History class they are learning about our nation's history and how the society in which we live functions. My job as a teacher is to be able to make their learning experience as enjoyable and effective as possible so they can truly have a better future in this great nation.
Any help in helping me accomplish this will be greatly appreciated.
My Project
Currently my classroom does not have computers and many of the students don't have computers at home. With enough computers to assign one per group of four my students will be able to find information, pictures, and other primary resources online. They will be able to create presentations, videos, and documents to share with the rest of the class.
This hands-on approach will allow them to fully grasp the concepts learned in class.
It will also help them gain experience using technology for learning purposes and not just for entertainment. I believe that this will have a lasting impact in their lives for years to come.
More than half of students from low‑income households
