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

When I introduce a new skill, strategy or concept, it is sometimes very difficult for some of my students to see as they can be far away from the front of the room, the board or me. Sometimes, they even huddle up around me when I am trying to show them something so they can get a better look.

My students approach life with the enthusiasm and curiosity that all five-year-old children seem to have in abundance.

Despite living in a low socioeconomic area where their parents struggle to make ends meet, they are incredibly hopeful and looking forward to the future. My students' parents want the best education possible for them but due to financial constraints, many cannot afford to have books, puzzles and other educational toys at home. It is up to me and the school to provide these wonderful, amazing, eager and bright kids with a wide variety of learning tools. We are a Title 1 school, which means that we do get funds to improve the academic achievement of the disadvantage, but not enough to provide every classroom with all the "extras" that they need. In fact due to all the budget cuts, we are running very low on essential supplies such as pencils, crayons, scissors, erasers, and even multipurpose paper.

My Project

I am requesting 1 EPSON projector and 1 USB extension cable. Having a projector would really enhance my instruction and student learning. I would like to use a projector along with a document camera to allow better visual access to tasks, and strategies that I am demonstrating before asking my students to engage in them. I would like to have the ability to guide my students in the text by putting a book directly up on the document camera. A projector and document camera will allow me to display student work for evaluation by the class. In addition, I would like for my students to use the projector along with a document camera to share their writing work. I hope that in sharing their work that my students will enhance their speaking ability, presence and self confidence. I would also like to connect the projector to my computer so that my students can see what is on my screen. I would be able to show them educational videos, power point presentations, and even education interactive computer games.

Projectors along with document cameras are a great tool for teachers.

They allow teachers to guide students with their work more easily, create more discussion, interaction, and maintain students' attention. A projector is an amazing tool that will allow my students to have a more dynamic and interactive classroom experience. Please help by donating to our project. Thank you!
