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

These students have recently arrived in the United States and face the dual challenge of learning English and adapting to a new environment while keeping pace with their classmates. An iPad will provide access to language-learning apps, bilingual resources, and creative tools for digital storytelling and presentations, giving them the individualized support they need to succeed academically and socially. The included accessories—a durable case for protection and headphones for focus—ensure the device will serve them effectively in a bustling classroom.

This technology will bridge the gap for my newcomer students, helping them thrive in an English-speaking classroom while preserving their cultural roots.

It will provide the individualized tools they need to succeed academically and feel included in our learning community. Your contribution will empower these students to reach their full potential and show them that their education matters.
