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

I teach 14-21-year-old students in a personalized learning setting. My students face many challenges such as social-emotional, economic, and homelessness.

However, they do not let that deter them from working hard towards earning their high school diploma.

This is especially true during these trying times. Our school is currently closed due to a shelter-in-place order. There is uncertainty in students' lives. Parents have lost jobs, my students are worried about everything that is going on. I would like them to have an opportunity to have some normalcy and consistency in their lives.

My students inspire me every day with their resiliency and determination to rise above their struggles. They inspire me to be more than just their teacher but their champion during this very difficult time we are living.

My Project

My students do not own computers or tablets at home. The laptops will be used by students to transition to online learning. Having a laptop they can take home will allow students the ability to continue their education.

It will also give me the opportunity to use technology to continue teaching students.

Students will be able to have access to all curriculum and subject matter online.

These laptops and technology will provide students with the tools and the support they need. Students will be able to use technology through different platforms to complete their assignments and connect and communicate with their teachers.
