Help me give my students the ability to utilize their tech along with their school-issued Chromebook and the ability to see visual aids from across the room with a 100" projection screen.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Casillas's classroom raised $220

Celebrating 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
Every year, freshmen entering our school is the start of another era that adds to the west side community on the island of Kauai. They enter as the students lowest on the totem pole and act accordingly . . . shy, worried, even scared. That's not how we let them exist. We get them to thrive.
Our school has a nationally recognized Freshman Academy that has a mission and vision statement based on the idea of nurturing all our incoming freshmen while preparing them for the following three years and beyond as they enter their community and the world.
We are a Title I school so funds are always a challenge for our students. Therefore, our focus is on relationships and revealing to the students they are capable of more than just their means.
My Project
Students want to learn and this is no more evident than when they take notes in class or engage in presentations. Allowing the students to teach other students is the most impactful way a student takes ownership of their education. With that being said I am looking to secure a 100" projection screen for my room to allow students the visibility of their presentations to others. it will also allow me to display a larger viewing area for students to see in my room. My classroom is a large art room with a size of 35x38'. This makes it tough for students sitting in the middle of the room or in the back to view anything on my 48" projection screen. The visibility will be a huge aid in their education.
Bringing information up close and larger from far away is my goal for the student's comprehension.
The mechanical arms I am requesting are an addition to a previous project I asked for. I have had great success with the students using them to support their personal phone devices for information while utilizing their Chromebook. Rather than having them flip between screens, they are able to keep their focus on the keyboard and Chromebook while having resources and information on their sides readily available. I hope to use more and more of these for future lessons and research for a full class.
More than half of students from low‑income households
