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

Teaching young boys and girls is fantastic and very rewarding. Most of the children I teach are economically disadvantaged and lack many things.

They are little scholars that love school and do their best.

The boys and girls come to school and strive for excellence. The children are strong and dedicated to their school work.

They come to school with a smile and continue to give their best effort. They are a wonderful bunch of children and deserve working technology.

My Project

Our classroom needs a few technology items to make learning a little smoother. The children need to see a clear picture of the learning material.

A document camera is just what will enhance the learning.

They will be able to "See it" better.

Using videos and listening to instructional music aids instruction so a good pair of computer speakers will help the children "hear it" clearly.

The children also need working calculators, They can "use it" for math.

The document camera, computer speakers, and calculators are just what the boys and girls need to maximize learning. Take a chance on a great bunch of kids and enhance their learning.
