Celebrating 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 students are fun-loving, smart, and hardworking! Our students come from all across the city to participate in the unique ELL (English Language Learner) New Arrivals Program, and ASD program, both specific for grades 6-8.
My students come from all different backgrounds to create a positive learning environment, where they will be encouraged to brainstorm, collaborate, and create works of art.
It is truly a unique urban setting.
Students at our middle school take an art class for an entire school year as a required elective and specials class and range in different skill levels and abilities.
My Project
I am requesting an Apple iPad and Apple Pencil to create a collection for my students to use in class. My students love making digital artwork and taking photographs. In the past, I have received LEGOS for my students to learn how to create stop-motion-animation and I would like to explore videography with them next year. Unfortunately, their Chromebook devices do not allow for external programs to be downloaded or connectivity of camera or recording devices.
I am asking for a new iPad and Apple Pencil for our classroom so that I can begin building a collection where students can have access to a device with editing programs and the ability to upload their photographs and digital artwork.
I am noticing, more and more of my students are taking an interest in digital arts and photography, and I would like for them to be able to explore that interest in class and teach them about this art medium.
Although my students are utilizing Chromebooks this year due to COVID, we still lack technology in my classroom. I would like to bring some technology in my classroom and teach my students about real-life applicable art in addition to the fine art and crafts that are in our curriculum.
More than half of students from low‑income households
