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 Students

This year I am teaching 30 high fourth graders. I teach in a Title I school, located in a very high-poverty and high-crime area of Pennsylvania.

All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of my students come from homes where English is not spoken. I have eight special education students and five ESL (English as a Second Language) students in my classroom. Several of the students in my classroom have an in-class social worker. I would appreciate as much support as I can get for my little ones. Thank you in advance.

My Project

My students would benefit greatly from a new Apple computer with a cover and charger.

Please help to get my fourth graders an Apple computer so that we can complete our Math and Literacy assignments.

The majority of our math and literacy programs this year are on the computer. My students love to read books on Raz-Kids and answer questions based on their stories. They also play complete math activities on ST math on the computers.

In addition, they listen to current events using Flocabulary on the computer.

Lastly, they love to exercise using the websites Activity works as well as Go Noodle. These brain break activities help them to focus better in class.

Please support us in getting an Apple computer with a cover and a charger. Thanks so very much!
