My students need tablets to research, use technology that is not accessible in my classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Torres's classroom raised $573
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My students will walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. We are a true melting pot as my students come from all walks of life and different cultures.
My Kindergarteners are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, and very inquisitive.
They are mini inspirations to themselves and others around them and they don't even know it yet. They are our future and I want to give them a great start to their long successful career.
My Project
There is a wealth of resources for early readers that is available online, but my kindergartners don't have access to it. For example, if we had tablets in my classroom, my students could go to their Raz kids account and read along as they listen to the narration of a book at their reading level in both Spanish and English. There are also many Math and sight word games that help students learn the basics as they play.
Having technology would allow me to cater to the individual needs of the students in my class and find books and activities that help them learn as they are having fun.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
