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

I am working on getting an iPad to help with my visual component of small group instruction.

The iPad will be used to show work to students as we are working in small groups.

It will be used to review vocabulary, watch educational videos and give students a chance to work on educational games. Please help me fund this project to give my students a new and exciting way to learn in my small group instruction. The students are doing great in our groups, I just want to try this to keep them more engaged.
