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 energetic kids with a love of learning. Over 90% of my students come from low-socioeconomic families. A large percentage of them meet the definition of homeless. Their parents are struggling to pay rent and get food on the table. They are working necessary jobs for us and for their families. My kindergartners worry about their well being, and yet, they still want to explore, create, read, and write! They want to learn and grow.

During this pandemic, my students are sheltering in place with basic classroom supplies and necessities and a small number of books.

I want them to continue to be safe and stay healthy as they work hard to learn to read, learn to use technology, and at the same time learn language art, math, and science.

My Project

My students have done a wonderful job sheltering in place and learning technology to continue learning their academics. With uncertainty in the horizon, I want to make sure my students can learn from a distance. I want to enhance the visuals my students are seeing on their screens at home.

This wireless tablet will allow me to annotate what my students are viewing and learning on the screen.

It will allow me to give emphasis to different parts of the material at different times and give my students a clearer understanding of the lessons under my document camera.

My kindergartners usually join together at the carpet to learn. But to return to school, we will need to always sit 6-feet apart maintaining social distancing. This tablet will allow me to walk around the room while bringing the board to them. My students will be able to write words and answer math problems on the tablet for all to see and still maintaining social distancing.

We do not know what the future holds, but we know that we will be learning with social distancing. This wireless tablet will help promote learning and keep my kids safe. Thank you for considering my project for your donation.
