Ms. Chavez from Las Vegas NV is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Home Sweet School

Help me give my students a more immersive experience while distance learning. The Chromebook tablet will allow me to do hands-free teaching and allow me to better communicate with my students during class.

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 school is a Title 1 public charter school in which 100% of the students receive free or reduced lunch, but that has never affected their attitude towards their education. My students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, but culturally and emotionally rich. Their contributions to class discussions, class activities, and personal projects show a wealth of knowledge and a drive beyond our own expectations.

My students overall are inquisitive, eager, and so happy to be in school!

Distance learning has not put a dent in their energy - they are just excited to finally be learning again alongside their friends. They love hands-on projects, challenging themselves, and having their voices heard - all of which will help them achieve our school vision of being college and career ready with cross cultural competence.

My Project

Students were unexpectedly thrust into a new environment, school at home, with no preparation or notice. With the new school year having started they are adjusting to what is the "new normal," but that doesn't mean it's forever. The Chromebook tablet will allow the students to have a more immersive experience while distance learning by allowing me to teach around my room and giving the students an authentic classroom experience. It will also allow me to better communicate with my students as well as allow them to use the tablet for STEM apps when they return to school.

Our school's goal is still to eventually get the students back in school once it's safe to do so.

When they come back, I will have flexible seating available for them in the form of wobble cushions. Plastic chairs can become uncomfortable so I know they would love to have wobble cushions available for their comfort and also for those kids who tend to want to move around often. Additionally, I teach science and writing and I am going to need a ton of paper for all of their scientific observations and notes, especially for 109 students.
