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 imaginative and fun-loving kids. They come from low-income households and have not had much experience with the world outside their small community. These are unprecedented times.

Never did I imagine that when my students and I said goodbye in March, it would mean that it was our last day in the classroom.

However, the year is not over yet!

My Project

The external hard drive is to help keep everything safe and be able to move from computer to computer. With this new remote distance learning, I am creating a lot of videos and need an easy place to store them.

With this project, all those lessons and videos can be stored and kept safe on the Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB External Hard Drive.

With remote distance learning, all the lessons have video content that takes up a lot of space on the internal computer hard drive.
