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 a Reading Specialist, my role is to support teachers and students by creating engaging learning reading experiences that foster literacy growth. My students use an iPad daily to create answers, complete interactive lessons, and provide a high level of knowledge. However, to maximize its effectiveness, they need a protective cover and an Apple Pencil. These tools will allow students to work more efficiently, annotate texts, and complete interactive activities that make learning more accessible and enjoyable for them. With the right tools, they can better support their learning, get personalized instruction, and ultimately enhance their student success in reading. We are a Title 1school with very low income students who need scaffold tech support. Your gift will directly contribute to creating a more dynamic and effective learning environment for children. I even threw in a couple fun prizes for the kiddos as a reading incentive giveaway as well.
