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

Hi There! I teach multiple subjects to 2nd grade students of varying abilities and English Language levels.

Now that distance learning has become our new normal, I must acquire the resources to best meet the needs of my students when they're learning from home!

My Project

I currently teach using a desktop, which is great because I am working from home. However I will soon be going back to my classroom and teaching in a hybrid situation for students at school and at home. That said, I need a reliable laptop to continue teaching from my classroom.

Having a new Macbook will enable me to load the best apps for effective instruction onto my computer.

For example-- the whiteboard program will allow my students and I to interact using drawings for complex math word problems. The programs are user friendly, which helps, as some of us teachers are learning to use the technology as we go!
