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 curious, motivated and thoughtful learners! The majority are ENLs from low-income families who come into our classrooms every day with the eagerness of becoming feature leaders, scientists, artists, etc.
They are big dreamers and believe that they can make a difference and achieve their goals if the support and the opportunity are given to them.
They love to read, write and draw, do math and do hands-on and movement activities!
The majority of my students are English language learners and students with disabilities, who require exposures to the best educational experiences; therefore, hands-on and realia are a must in my classroom. Many of my students struggle to understand and grasp concepts and they need to be exposed to visual and concrete samples for them to get it.
Each student in my classroom is unique and it is my responsibility as their teacher to find the best and most effective way to help them achieve their potential. Every donation makes a difference in my students' lives. I look forward to creating projects that will make our classroom a joyful learning environment. Thank you!
My Project
These iPads will bring the most modern, innovative technology to my students. My students will be able to use the iPads in all subject areas such as math, science, reading, writing, social studies, art, and more!
Critical thinking and high-paced, interactive learning is a valuable component in a first-grade classroom.
My first priority with the iPads would be to provide my students with high-quality apps that would engage their minds and motivate them to learn. I would like to use apps like EPIC, Starfall, iReady, and Kahoot with my class.
These iPads would be amazing to have for students to research things like animals, community helpers, weather, and important figures in history. My students would be able to create amazing projects and presentations. I would also like to use the iPads during center time. I would be able to differentiate my instruction for all of my students' academic levels and interests.
I am always looking for ways to grab my students' attention and get them hooked on learning. The iPads would help my English learners and students with disabilities to hear stories read to them and would also translate words/ideas they may not understand in English. Please help me provide my students with iPads!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
