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 students deserve all that I can give them and more. As a targeted student populations adviser, I have the pleasure to work with many students across many grade levels.

They make up a very diverse community ethnically and financially.

My students come from loving and nurturing homes. Their parents are true partners in our school and they give so much of their time to their kids. My students inspire me to give them unique opportunities every day.

My students are excited to learn about and grow as leaders and to compete among the highest levels. I need to continue to develop challenging lessons to keep them engaged and inspired.

My Project

When using a relevant and user-friendly computer, my students will be able to create projects with ease. They are well versed in technology and need access to newer devices to help them stay engaged and creative in their projects.

Creating and editing their projects will be a breeze when my students are given access to a modern device.

They will be able to use applications that will aid them in their collaborative groups. Additionally, I will be able to create lessons that help them develop and master the use of technology and technology standards with a new computer.
