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

My students are hardworking , caring individuals that unfortunately do not have the resources available to them as some students have.

Therefore, providing them a glimpse of what is available to them is the least we can do so they can experience it and not just hear about it.

Giving them the opportunity to enhance their learning will be greatly appreciated. They constantly strive to achieve success and deserve a better chance to achieve this through your generosity. Please help these students in their quest for greatness. Thank you.

My Project

All materials will be able to enhance learning. The laptop speaker will enable students to listen to all our interactive activities, PowerPoint presentations and all other internet presentations with a greater degree of quality.

The laser pointer will help the students get a first-hand experience of how to better present a lesson or project without having to personally move the laptop.

The organizational charts will better prepare their homework and in-class assignments to make it easier to organize themselves and prevent clutter in their desks.

All of these materials will not only prepare this year's students but the rest of the generations to follow.
