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

Help my students capture their memories forever. Every year is unique and students will remember everyday, every activity, they have done during the year if is capture with a digital camera.

I am requesting a Canon Digital camera to give my students an opportunity to capture their memories and create projects using photos.

We will use this camera to create and allow students to take photos and keep their memories forever. Also, students will be able to use the camera to create their own slideshow. Digital images can also be use in Math by collecting data. The camera can also be use as a Science tool, by taking clear and focused images.
