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

In our 3rd grade ICT (Integrated Co-Teaching) classroom, we serve an incredible group of students with a wide range of learning styles and needs. To meet them where they are and help them grow, we are requesting a reliable MacBook that will enhance our ability to create, deliver, and differentiate instruction every single day.

A new MacBook will allow us to; provide timely and personalized feedback to students, create engaging and multimodal resources such as Google Docs, Slides, PDFs, and short video clips, support literacy and math instruction with customized digital tools and manipulatives, design graphic organizers and visual aids tailored to our students’ academic needs, and project lessons and resources clearly and efficiently during instruction.

The MacBook will play a powerful role in transforming how we connect with and support every learner in our classroom.

Beyond day-to-day classroom use, this tool also help us fulfill essential professional responsibilities—such as attending virtual IEP meetings, collaborating with colleagues, and engaging in ongoing training that directly impacts student growth.

Your generous support will make a lasting difference. By helping us bring this essential tool into our learning environment, you’re not just supporting our teaching—you’re investing in the success, growth, and confidence of every student we serve.

Thank you for helping us build a classroom where every child has what they need to thrive!
