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

The ability of having an iPad iand Apple pencil n our classroom and football team can significantly enhance both academic and athletic experiences for our students.

iPads can transform our classroom into an interactive environment.

It would give us access to so many more educational apps and resources that cater to different learning styles, making lessons more engaging and effective.

For the football team, iPads can be used to analyze game footage, develop strategies, and even track player performance and stats. This technology can give our team a competitive edge and help students understand the game better.

Goals for the Project

Our primary goals for integrating iPads into our classroom and football team are:

By incorporating technology, we aim to increase student engagement and motivation in both academic and athletic settings.

We want to prepare our students for the future by developing their digital literacy skills, which are essential in today’s technology-driven world.

iPads can facilitate group work and collaboration, both in the classroom and on the field, by allowing students to share ideas and resources seamlessly.

By using iPads for strategy planning and performance analysis, our goal is to improve the overall performance and understanding of our football players.

What Makes Our Students Special

Our students are a unique blend of diverse backgrounds and talents, each bringing their own perspectives and strengths to the classroom and team:

This diversity enriches our learning environment and fosters a culture of inclusivity and mutual respect.

Many of our students face challenges outside of school, yet they consistently demonstrate resilience and determination to succeed. Their perseverance is truly inspiring.

Our students have a strong sense of community and teamwork. Whether it’s in the classroom or on the football field, they support each other and work together to achieve common goals.

Coach Shelsta will only receive their materials if this project is fully funded by July 5.
