Help me give my students an opportunity to use online apps to better practice vocabulary and create presentations that take their learning to the next level!

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
The best way to describe our students would be resilient. Our students push through all obstacles to come out on top. Our community is mostly made of low-income and/or migrant families. This does not stop our students. They persevere through any difficulties they may have at home to come to school and do their best.
My students are individuals, they are unique, they are the only one of their kind.
Despite our student's struggles, our school's scores last year were among the highest in the city. Our fifth graders this year are truly a special group of students. They came in this school year determined to set the bar higher for incoming classes. They work hard every day, ask questions, explore, research, and learn to become better.
We are indeed a family in our school and we try to make sure that anyone who comes into our school feels as though they are a part of that family. Our students are welcoming and kind. They strive to become the citizens we hope will one day run our country.
My Project
Our school is proud to offer our students as many opportunities as possible to engage and be active participants in their learning. By having iPads in the classroom, we will provide them with a tool that allows students to bring what they have learned to life.
How amazing would it be to have a group of students in your class create a music video that explains the scientific method?
By having iPads in the classroom, my students will have the tools they need to be active and mobile while applying what they know to an interesting and tech savvy presentation. Today's learners are born to create, and with iPads, they will have a multitude of opportunities to do so at their fingertips. Through movies, powerpoints, webs, vocabulary review students will be able to take what they have learned in class and demonstrate a deeper understanding.
Furthermore, iPads provide an array of applications that could be integrated into our daily learning. Through ClassDojo, students can create portfolios of their work and IPads would facilitate this. Students can use flexible seating in the classroom and watch NASA's latest probe land on Mars, the possibilities are endless.
Please help my amazing 5th graders obtain 2 iPads for their classroom to help them become a part of the learning process and take control of it.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
