Working Laptop

Help me give my students the opportunity to have seamless lessons without the struggle of waiting for our class laptop to load.

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 such a fun group full of energy! Not only do my students come from varying ethnic backgrounds, but also from different parts of the world! They enjoy being read to, doing math, and technology. They have been real troopers adjusting to face-to-face learning.

My students have faced many challenges this past year and are excited to learn and be at school.

I want to provide them with a positive and safe school experience by making sure we have what we need to make this school year successful.

My Project

This laptop will help my students receive a better learning experience without the hassle of waiting for my laptop to load. My lessons will be smoother, quicker, and easier to access. I will also be ready to reach all my students in the event I have to teach hybrid.

Having a working laptop will enhance our everyday learning for both my students and myself.

I will be able to navigate through different tabs easily and project different content while I'm teaching without losing my students' engagement due to my old laptop not loading.
