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

I am requesting a laptop that can be used so students can view projected and mirrored lessons onto a smart board. Students will have access to creative lessons with slides, videos, and clips. Their lessons will come to life and be more engaging. For example they will have access to lessons that are interactive, where they can be excited about phonics and numbers. They will want to come up to the smart board and write and fix run-on sentences, fragments, and be excited and proactive in their learning.

They will be able to grow as students and have access to all the resources that are out there to engage them.

They will benefit from new technology and websites to have creative lessons that are engaging, meaningful, tech-savvy, and up with the times. Thank you for your time, support, and dedication to public education!
