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
This upcoming year I will be teaching 2nd graders. My students are from an inner-city in one of the five New York City boroughs.
My students come from a predominantly low socio-economic background.
Nevertheless, my students are the most hard-working, motivated, and inquisitive students you can have. However, this year due to COVID -19, I have been teaching remotely. I really need another laptop to teach my students.
My Project
Due to COVID-19, I have now been assigned to teach 2nd graders. I have been using my Apple laptop, but it is starting to act up. The laptop sometimes goes light and dark. It often has issues charging. I must keep the laptop charging at all times while I am teaching. It has truly been a blessing throughout my remote teaching. I have been able to successfully teach my students from September until now. However, I am now starting to have issues with its function and I do not want to be left without a laptop at all. Also, the j,k,g, and b keys get stuck and I need to hit the keys hard several times. Many times I have errors in my writing because the keys get stuck.
More than three‑quarters of 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
