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 classroom was just furnished with a smart board which now means that my only school-issued laptop is now dedicated to connectivity for that device as the old desktop computer that I was using is not compatible. I am in need of a second device.
I am hoping for a fast-processing laptop to allow me to continue making innovative, engaging, and interactive, lessons, presentations, and activities that are accessible for all students (including my struggling readers, multilingual learners, and students with disabilities) and will inspire discovery and a love for science.
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
