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

The iPad chargers will be used every single day to recharge our iPads. iPads are a specific tool for us to provide differentiated individualized instruction for our kindergarten students. Our school district currently requires the students to complete a precise amount of minutes daily using various district-approved educational apps in the areas of math and language arts. Our dual language students also have the opportunity to access Rosetta Stone for added support and practice in their world target language.

Unfortunately, many of our iPads are missing chargers and this makes it impossible to utilize all of them we have because so many are waiting to be recharged.
