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 am requesting a new laptop that will make a huge impact in my student's learning. My students interested in the STEM program are extremely inquisitive and bright and always eager to learn! I have over 200 students throughout the day that would benefit from having access to the Macbook for STEM research. My students are eager to try new things, and I would love to incorporate more technology in my classroom. Having a new computer will help my children gain access to different apps and allow them to apps, projects, documents, research, music, and interactive games! I would also be able to use more bilingual applications for the student who are English language learners as well.
