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

Help me give my 7th-grade science students a more engaging and supportive classroom by providing an iPad mini. Our science room is large, and students spend a lot of time working in groups or conducting hands-on experiments. An iPad mini would allow me to move freely around the classroom while still accessing lesson plans, digital resources, and student data. This means I can check in with every student, answer questions immediately, and provide feedback on the spot.

With an iPad mini, I can also document student work, track progress during labs, and share videos, diagrams, and interactive tools in real time.

This technology will make learning more interactive, help keep all students on track, and allow me to provide individualized support so every student can succeed in science.

Your support will make a big difference in giving these students the attention, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive in science. Thank you for helping make our classroom more engaging, hands-on, and successful!
