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

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. My students are so engaged and motivated to learn. They are always setting goals, making plans to achieve them and then meeting or exceeding them.

I work at a Title I school, which means my students do not get as much exposure to educational experiences that others might outside of the classroom.

Not only that, but many are learning English as a second language so visuals when acquire vocabulary is helpful.

Visuals are very important to all young learners, so a working projector is a must! I want to do everything I can to ensure that my students are successful, so I am asking for an LCD projector so that all students can see the wonderful digital content.

My Project

In today's classroom, a working projector is a must! There are virtual field trips to go on and new vocabulary words to learn with images to relate them to with a projector.

Audiovisual aids create a sensory experience that draws students in and makes them more active learners.

I want to stimulate critical thinking and generate discussion by integrating visuals into my lessons. Therefore, I want my instruction to be more effective and include visual aids. There are so many videos and images that relate to our curriculum, A projector is really a window into the world! Please help us receive one that works.

Young learners really rely on visuals and videos to learn about and make connections to the real world.
