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

Our classroom is in need of iPads to significantly enhance our ability to assess student progress, monitor individual learning needs, and provide tailored instruction. This tool will allow students to research and interactive lessons. An iPad will provide students with access to online resources and collaborative tools.

Our diverse classroom includes students with varying abilities and learning preferences.

The iPads will enable us to use educational apps and software to conduct assessments and track student progress. We will use the iPad to document detailed observations of student performance to guide our instructional strategies.

The design and Play STEAM kit will incorporate hands-on activities to engage our students and boost their enthusiasm for learning. The Design templates for paper airplanes will make physics and engineering concepts come alive and encourages students to experiment, hypothesize, and refine their designs in a fun and interactive way.

Your generous contribution will provide us with essential educational tools that will enable us to create a supportive and responsive learning environment for our students. Thank you for considering our project and for helping us make a significant difference in our classroom.
