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

My school is a high-poverty school. All of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch and we are very limited in resources and materials.

Even though we face many challenges in our school, my students are bright children who love to learn and come to school with smiles on their faces every day.

They love doing hands-on activities and using manipulatives in their learning to fully understand ideas and concepts being taught. Additionally, students love to stay active and release energy throughout the school day!

My Project

The MacBook Pro I am currently using to create and present distance learning lessons for my students has just died. Therefore, I am doing everything on my phone but using a phone has limited functions. I am requesting a MacBook to be used to video chat with students, assist in virtual small group instruction and to record instructional videos and lessons to help students with learning third grade math and science grade level content standards. My goal is to be able to use this MacBook to still provide quality instruction for my students!
