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 am a third-year teacher, working with wonderful 3rd-grade students. We are a community school in Hartford, CT. My students come from various diverse backgrounds. What I love most about my students and their families is how they value their school, their education, and their community. They are truly excited to learn and to be in my classroom.

Their dedication and this love for learning continue to drive my passion for teaching.

I couldn't ask for a better group of students!

My Project

The 2020-2021 school year has been a bumpy ride for us all. Teachers are learning new ways to teach, incorporating the best practies into digital learning. Even more amazing are our students this year. They came into this school year having no closure from last school year, when COVID shut us down. They came into this school year facing many new protocols and safety measures. They came into this school year, where we've traded pencil and paper for Chromebooks and Google Classroom.

And they have handled it with grace and shown unbelievable resiliency; they came into this school year ready to learn.

Help me provide my students with the digital tools they need to be successful with this new way of learning. With your help, we can provide my students headphones and every student will also have their own mouse and mouse pad.

Each student having their own headphones will allow them to focus on their work by filtering out background noise both in the classroom and when they are learning at home. A mouse and mouse pad will help my students navigate through the many programs we use more easily. They also would benefit from having both left and right buttons a mouse offers.

Giving my students these tools will help facilitate their learning online by making things a little easier for them. Minimizing distraction and helping them navigate online learning more quickly and efficiently will lead to greater success in these unprecedented times.

Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity.
