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

iPads make learning fun! I know that my students would really enjoy working and learning on iPads.

My students are bright and motivated and love to learn.

They especially love to practice their skills on computers. I have a computer in my classroom and that is always the favorite center for my students to practice their reading and math skills. I know that if we had iPads in the classroom, my students would be even more motivated to learn.

My Project

I am requesting iPads for my students because I know how much they love to practice their reading and math skills on the computer. I think that this technology would motivate them to practice their reading and math skills even more. I think that iPads would really make them excited to learn.

I think that the best time to teach students how to use the latest technology is when they are young.

As my students grow, I know that they will be better prepared to succeed in school if they are able to use the latest technology. My students need an iPad to work on in the classroom.
