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
I have 18 students in my class this year. They are a great bunch, but have some challenges. All of my students are Hispanic and English is their second language. Fifteen of my students are in our ESOL program. I am their homeroom teacher and I work together with the ESOL teacher to give our students the best opportunities possible to prepare for second grade and beyond.
In addition to their language and cultural differences, my students face economic challenges as well.
Ours is a Title I school. Our students often lack basic necessities at home and at school. I often use my own resources to make sure my kids have what they need. My students and I would be very grateful for any donations in support of our classroom and learning needs.
My Project
Our class needs tablets and headphones. We have Chromebooks for the students to use, but we often don't have access to them because all of the First grade students are required to take many online assessments this year. We have had iPads in the past to help during the times when we don't have our Chromebooks, but they were not given to us this year.
The tablets will help us fulfill our technology requirements!
The students have strict time requirements for online programs that cater to their individual academic needs. The headphones in conjunction with the tablets, will allow students to not only complete their required tasks, but also to focus on the activities.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
