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

Our school is a Title I-funded school, and our budget is decreasing year after year. In addition, the budget does not allot funding for teachers to have the proper technology in their classrooms. Our kids come from low-income households and need resources to help them.

I have students with disabilities from 9th to 12th grade in my class and they need a way of understanding the material through visual demonstrations.

I need to be able to reteach lessons to a small group of students, but it is difficult without the projector. Many of the assignments are online and the projector would be helpful in teaching how to use the tools embedded in the online math websites.

Please help us provide our students with the technology needed to allow them to be successful and productive.
