Celebrating 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
My students are hardworking, kind, and eager to grow academically and personally. Many face challenges outside of school, but they show up each day ready to learn. To recognize their commitment, especially in maintaining perfect attendance, I want to reward the top three students with laptops that will support their continued learning at home and in school.
These laptops will not only serve as a reward but as a powerful learning tool.
Access to technology will help them complete assignments, explore educational resources, and build digital literacy skills—something that is essential in today’s world.
This project encourages consistency, motivation, and academic responsibility. I believe that by celebrating their dedication to being present, we are building habits that lead to long-term success
