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

We would love a new MacBook in our classroom to connect to our Smart Board. Our current laptop has been lagging a bit, which causes longer wait time for our lessons to load.

We want to eliminate unnecessary wait time that we could be using to learn!

When we teach as a whole group, our students join us in the meeting area for a better view of the Smart Board. It has been taking us longer to switch in between web pages and lesson slides due to the unreliable laptop that we currently have hooked up to our Smart Board. This new MacBook will be the perfect addition to our classroom. Our kids will experience our lessons in real-time, rather than having down time, waiting for a computer to load.
