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

We need to keep up with the continually evolving tech world in our classroom!

My students are thoughtful and reflective.

They are aware of how they learn best and recognize that seeing their work using concrete materials is much more visually appealing and stimulating. The projector can do just that - bring their work to life and empower their learning by facilitating thoughtful discussion using visual aids. This projector will be used alongside a document camera and will also create a cooperative learning environment thus bringing about a stronger sense of community.

My Project

My students are invested in their own learning. They are even more invested when they can share their work and experiences with their peers. My students flourish in an environment where they can explain their reasoning and thinking, and support their arguments with confidence and assertion. The projector will be used with a document camera that will allow them to think even deeper about their explanation, and allow for more discussion among their classmates.

Your donation will have an immediate impact on my students' learning.

We will use the projector everyday in our classroom for all mini-lessons. As the one piece of technological equipment we will have in the room, your donation will mean that much more to my students.
