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

Many of our students do not even touch a computer until they attend school. It's important that I help them learn the basics of today's technology. In order to do so, our computer lab needs to have the proper working parts. Headphones are used often in our lab, thus new ones are always needed.

Our school is a K-8 charter school in Kansas City, MO.

We serve a large ESL/ELL population. We have a very big Hispanic population, but we also serve many Asian, African American, and Turkish families. We saw a large growth in our student population this year due to the failings of a local school district. These students love working on the computers and enjoy technology immensely! They love to participate in educational games and activities via the Internet as well. Many of the students do not have Internet or computers at home. Thus, they learn the basics of Internet navigation, how to use a mouse and keyboard, and how to create a basic document when they come to my computer lab. These life skills are so vital in today's society.

My Project

I am requesting a new set of headphones for the computer lab. We use headphones daily. It helps to keep the volume of the computer activities down. It also allows students to better concentrate on assignments. Our school does testing via the computer for both the AR system and NWEA testing. These tests require the use of headphones at times. Thus, it's very important that we always have enough working headphones for each student. I am also requesting a few keyboards and mice. Many of ours have stopped working recently due to old age. It's important that these are replaced soon so that we can continue to have a productive computer lab.

Having these new materials would mean the world to my students and me.

We work very hard in the computer lab, but we also try to have fun along the way. When we do not have working supplies, or when the Internet "dies" in the middle of a lesson, it's frustrating for all of us. The students want to learn and use technological resources.
