Power Up Learning: Keeping Our iPads Charged for Success

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

I absolutely love how curious and eager my students are to learn. They bring so much energy and creativity into the classroom, and it’s inspiring to see their eyes light up when they master a new concept or solve a challenging problem. My goal is always to create a welcoming, comfortable space where they can thrive academically and emotionally. The specific items I’m requesting—iPad chargers, a candle melter, and candles—might seem small, but they play an important role in creating a productive and welcoming learning environment.

The iPad chargers ensure that our technology remains accessible and ready to use.

iPads are a key part of our classroom, allowing students to access math apps, interactive lessons, and collaborative tools. When devices are charged and available, learning can proceed seamlessly, and students stay engaged without worrying about technological hiccups.

The candle melter and candles contribute to the atmosphere of the classroom. A pleasant and inviting scent can help students feel calm and comfortable, fostering better focus and reducing anxiety. This is especially important during high-pressure times like test prep or challenging lessons.
