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
Help me give my students an iPad to enhance literacy instruction with interactive tools and engaging reading apps. With this resource, students can access digital books, practice phonics, and improve comprehension skills through personalized learning programs.
An iPad will also allow me to provide small-group and one-on-one support more effectively, using technology to meet each learner where they are.
Together, we can make reading come alive and empower every student to grow as a confident reader and writer. Thank you for the opportunity, and we are so excited to use this.
