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

This project will provide our classroom with a laptop that will support literacy through engaging programs, interactive reading platforms, and digital libraries. With access to this device, students will be able to participate in small group reading interventions, conduct research, listen to audiobooks, and use phonics and comprehension apps tailored to their individual reading levels.

The laptop will also allow me to differentiate instruction more effectively, track reading progress in real time, and give students immediate feedback.

Whether they’re practicing fluency, building vocabulary, or writing responses to text, this technology will help them stay motivated and on track.

Why This Matters:

Having reliable technology in the classroom ensures that every student—no matter their background—has access to high-quality literacy tools. Your support will help close the opportunity gap and give my students the resources they need to become confident, capable readers.

Thank you for helping us create a classroom where literacy and technology come together to inspire lifelong learning!
