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

By using this laptop my bilingual kindergarten vanguard students can use already acquired technology skills to expand on their ESL reading skills and their required ESL learning goals. By having access to this laptop on a daily bases they can become more familiar with the most advanced and up to date digital learning material available in a much more meaningful manner. Working with these laptops each day will help to prepare them for many current and future academic objectives (especially those who do not have access to technology at home).
