Shooting Our Way Through Learning

My students need a computer to do research projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Velasco's classroom raised $811

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 Students

Do you remember the last time you wanted to find information on a subject to gain more knowledge and you didn't have a computer to do it? Well my students have not been able to do that. They need a computer to enhance their learning and gain further knowledge.

My students are in fifth grade with an SAS cluster.

About half of my class are advanced and need to be challenged. I also have various leveled learners and they need a lot of help with the standards.

My Project

Getting a computer will allow my students to do their research projects and gain extra knowledge on certain subjects. It is very challenging in the classroom to assign projects to these kids and they can't do the research because of lack of computers. These computers will make their lives easier and it will make them more successful.

This donation will make a difference because my students will learn more about the standards that we teach in the classroom and they will gain more knowledge on all the subject areas that we are teaching.

This project will allow my students to be less frustrated when they do their projects.
