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 Project

I have a two desktop computers that no longer update and are having issues. They are outdated to say the least. This new laptop will help me continue to provide my students with more effective lessons using current and updated apps.

My students will be able to use apps to aid in their learning.

The new apps will make learning fun. This, in turn, will help them be better learners. I can create activities that will benefit all of my students. I will no longer spend most of our time rebooting my old computer, cutting into my precious teaching time.

I will also be able to help my students use our newly acquired Cricut machine to create projects for the school, classroom, and sports teams. This will help them to feel like they are a part of their school community.
