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

My third grade class is full of energetic, creative, hungry for more technology kids! They love using their iPads for gamified assessments, Scratch coding projects, Tinkercad designs, Minecraft wizards, and ingenious engineers. One of our needs is having an upgraded iMac. Our current iMac was purchased in 2012! We can't upgrade the IOS software. It takes forever to process iMovies. We download new coding apps either. Its been frustrating for my kids to work on a collaborative project with one small iPad so we would really appreciate a larger screen with a fast processor and with the newest software. Please help us take our creativity to the next level with a new iMac computer.
