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
The students in my class are hard working, show perseverance, and have good character. They are enthusiastic learners who have a passion for learning and living. My school is located in the heart of a community in a busy city in Southern California. A majority of our students are of Latin descent and come from homes where Spanish is the primary language spoken.
My students come from low-income, economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. As if suffering from the effects of poverty wasn't enough, many of my students are being exposed to domestic violence, child abuse, neglect, lack of health care, hunger, homelessness, and substance abuse. Their families do not have access to resources and there is very little support at home. Nevertheless, my students show an appreciative joy and have a positive attitude when they come to school each day.
My Project
The Galaxy Tablets will become a permanent learning tool that will allow me to differentiate instruction in my classroom. Because my students are all working at different levels, they are in much need of this type of instructional tool. The tablets will allow my students to practice their mathematics and literacy skills through the many applications that are available for download. The interactive games, puzzles, stories and phonemic activities will allow my students to practice and strengthen their skills during center time.
Technology is the present and the future for school success!
Please let my students learn and explore through the many applications available on the web to reinforce their mathematics and literacy skills needed to succeed in first grade.
Nearly all 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
