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

Our classroom has students with different disabilities, needs, and ages. As a Special Education teacher, there are two important things I need to do: write Individualized Education Plans for each of my students and create specific goals for them. We use a computer every day for taking attendance, planning lessons, and monitoring my students' progress.

A fast and reliable computer that could be connected to a screen would help the students in my classroom achieve academic success by listening to read-aloud, watching videos, and completing activities online with the teacher's guidance.

It will be an awesome tool to integrate technology into their academic journey to be able to choose the topics and skills they need to succeed.

We thank you donors for all the support.
