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

These materials will help me be able to efficiently take notes during daily observations of my students. My students are 3 and 4 years old with a variety of diagnosis. I am required to observe, write and input everything they do for daily for data purposes.

An iPad will allow me to take notes, save them and upload them on the spot no matter where in the school I may be, saving me time.

Along with the iPads the additional items will allow me to protect the device from any accidents during the school day, allowing me to use it for many years to come. The more time I can save completing paper work, the more time I have to provide my students with learning opportunities. They deserve my undivided attention and unfortunately, sometimes my attention is divided between them and transferring written notes to the according websites.
