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 preschool scholars come to class eager to explore different areas in our classroom. A computer will be essential for their learning and I would love to introduce my students to computer technology.

My students come from low income families; and most do not have access to a computer at home.

Their parents work all day and most of my students spend eight or more hours in my classroom. I would like my students to have the opportunity to learn some computer skills before they finish and go on to kindergarten. I have early learners that come everyday ready to learn and discover new things. In my classroom I provide to my students different learning areas to help them develop new learning skills. A computer area is essential in every classroom. My students would love to have a computer as part of their daily learning activities. I believe that every child has the right to learn, and the most important years for learning are the first five. A computer is a tool for my children to acquire early reading skills. New technology is a very expensive tool to implement in low income programs. My school cannot afford computers in a classroom. I would love my students to learn early computer skills.

My Project

With a new desktop computer, my students will be able to further their learning through interactive activities. The recognition of words, sounds, and spelling is a special part of our curriculum. With the use of a new computer, my students will be able to see our sight words in writing, listen to the sounds that each letter makes, and then memorize the spelling and use of the words. The excitement my students feel when they are able to recognize a familiar word in the sentence of a story is unexplainable. My students will also learn computer literacy, which is very important in this day and age. In the digital world we live in now, our children can greatly benefit from being knowledgeable of computers and their many qualities.

Donations will help improve our classroom by providing my students with new technology skills.

They will be able to learn about literacy and acquire math skills. For example, they will be able to read stories, identify and count numbers, recognize letters, read and sing nursery rhymes, learn how to type and more. This computer may be the only technology they have access to during their early years, and I believe it is important to introduce technology at an early age.
