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 need as much assistance as possible. Reading from a text is not enough. Many have difficulties following along and need visual cues to help them keep track. The use of projections will enhance their chances of "getting" the lesson.

My students are AMAZINGLY special.

We are an elementary school in the middle of Little Havana, FL. They come to my resource class with the desire to learn and most importantly be like the other students. In our class we have K-5th grade at various times of the day. We have many different disabilities from significantly learning disabled, autistic, intellectually disabled, ADD, ADHD to medically fragile students. Many of our students come from very low socioeconomic homes, where technology is limited. Although the school is very supportive, having so many different levels makes it difficult to have all the resources needed for each level. My students are very humble and would greatly appreciate your generous donations.

My Project

Please help us bring everything to life with this project. We can use the tablet to access the newly installed wi-fi system in our school and project supplemental materials for the lessons. The use of the ELMO and Projector will allow my students to see, hear and follow along in the lessons. The students can also share their work, drawing and stories, reinforcing their hard work. Being a multi-grade level class is a challenge in itself, but with the use of this technology we will be able to access many of the applications available online as well as all of the supplemental materials .

This project will contribute to the academic success of my students!

Using a multisensory approach will help the children capture the lessons better. On behalf of my students, thank you! Thank you for believe in us (even when others don't)! Thank you for making learning fun! Thank You!
