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 really get excited about reading. We are a small community school located in the big city of Miami, which has lots of distractions. My students get excited with the smallest of incentives and even when the library is decorated. I want to continue to attract their attention to our Media Center. I want to be able to provide them a great comfy area to read.

As the Media Specialist, I want to encourage students to feel comfortable and highlight the fantastic resources our Media Center has to offer.

Most of our students love to read and come to the library at least twice a week. I need these students to continue to come the library as they get older and feel that its not just a place the primary grades.

My Project

Technology is very fluid. Faster speeds, bigger hard drives, the list goes on. The students are need of laptop to check books in and out. With a new laptop students, will also be able to access information faster, edit videos, and create PowerPoint presentations.

The addition of technology would give my students the boost of excitement that they need at the beginning of the year.

Gearing them up for the hard work that lays ahead and create of sense of responsibility that comes with new equipment. This laptop is also touch screen and has a nice sized monitor making it user friendly for all types of learnerns.
