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

As the classroom becomes more and more reliant on technology, I am in need of a few items to help make it easier for me to use the technology in the classroom.

In my 5 years of teaching, I have developed many lessons to help engage my students in learning science!

I am asking for an external hard drive and USB drives to help save all of the lessons I have created for my students as well as my student's work! My school district has experienced virus attacks that have caused both teachers and students to lose their work. These devices will help in protecting both my lessons for my current and future students and my student's valuable work!

With every student having and needing a laptop for class, I often find there are not enough places for them to charge the laptops when needed. Power stripes will help make sure this is no longer an issue!

Finally, I am looking for a Bluetooth speaker to have an easy way to bring music into the classroom. I find that my students work best with music and I want to help facilitate that in the classroom!
