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 a wonderful group of third graders. They come to school ready and eager to learn. They are bright, curious, and love to learn. We are a Title I school. Our families love and care very much for their children and want the best education for them. Our students deserve to have every opportunity to be academically successful. They deserve to have updated technological tools like other schools in our area.

My Project

I am requesting a new updated teacher laptop for remote learning. Currently I am using a laptop that is old and slow. Our district gave us laptops over 6 years ago. My students listen to all the videos I present with glitches and it's very difficult to listen and understand the learning videos.

I use and share apps and educational videos daily and I feel so bad that my students can't hear these without glitches.

Please help me be a better teacher by funding me a new updated laptop for my third graders and our remote learning.
