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

With the technological advances that have been made over the recent years, we live in a world where technology is essential. I firmly believe that every child should have access to a computer. Most of my students don't own a computer, so I'd love to give them access to a computer at school.

I work in an extremely impoverished area.

My students have seen and dealt with more in their short lives that most adults will ever have to experience. My students are bright, curious and full of joy. My class is an ELL (English Language Learner) class. That means that the majority of my students learned, or are learning, English as a second language. My students come from all over the world. I have students from Puerto Rico, Guyana, The Dominican Republic and various countries in West Africa. Many of my students came from their country and entered my class knowing little to no English. It's truly amazing how quickly they pick up the language. It's incredibly rewarding to see.

My Project

I currently have three old Dell PCs in my classroom. One works well, one barely works, and the third one doesn't even turn on. When my students go on the computer that works well, they absolutely amaze me - they fluently know how to operate and maneuver the computer much better that I do! If I had an iPad tablet for my class, I would be able to give all of my children the opportunity to work with the tablet on a one-on-one and group basis. They can sit with the tablet at their desk to become more comfortable with it, learn from it, do research with it, and use it just as they use other classroom learning materials. Two other classes in my school have a tablet for every student in their class (my principal got them donated). My children deserve the same opportunities that the other children in the school (and across the country) have.

With your help and support, my students will have an invaluable tool in our classroom that will be used for years to come.

They will gain vital knowledge of house to use and navigate a computer at a young age. Children are sponges, if you teach them as much as you can while they are still young, their futures will be limitless. Myself, as well as my students, would be incredibly grateful to receive this iPad tablet.
