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 an inclusive group of both general education students and special education students who have a range of needs and learning styles. My students are eager second-grade learners who love school!

Being in and out of school this past year has really taken a toll on them, and they can't wait to start school in person again this fall!

My Project

Distance learning has really shown me how important having updated technology is in a classroom setting. My school laptop is incredibly old, and having a computer that is able to keep up with and use the latest technology would be amazing. A new laptop would allow me to plan lessons seamlessly, communicate with parents via virtual conferences, create and present visual lessons, record and track student data, write and prepare IEP, and so much more.

The availability of a laptop that can withstand multiple applications would allow for limitless learning!

The Apple MacBook will help me provide the best instruction to my students with ease.

In addition to the MacBook, I have also included tissues in this project. We run out of tissues so fast in school, that it is absolutely necessary to have a few extra boxes on hand!

Thank you for your support!!
