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

We are leap on up to the sky to a new and prosperous era in Miami! We are moving on up to the top education in Dade County. Technology evolutions in time as quick as taking a sip of water. Our schools do a lot to make this type of technology available but with honesty it is not quick enough for all to have access to such a thing as the updated technology much less a fast and latest version of any software. In addition many of my students may not have the finances to acquire a laptop or desktop at home. That means that the only exposure happens at school even now a days when technology is all over the board. The computers in my class work slower than a tortoise and accessing the educational software that is even part of the curriculum is really a torture. To the point that this past year we did not even bother turning them on. That is a sad note, when children can use these software as a re-learning tool and or challenge if they already meet the grade status/goals. We are back to having more than 18 students in a class and meeting each and every need is a challenge although as teachers we manage each minute to make it happen. So your help in acquiring a couple of computers/laptops not only make it feasible but also flexible to move around the room where the students can access using the newest thing flexible seating. A combination for success! PLEASE, help me provide my students with a Century education that meets all and everyone's needs for success in today's world! Thank you ahead of time for even taking the time to read this and think about donating to our project.
