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

Do you know what it is like to grow up in poverty and lack educational materials? This is the life of most of my students. They have a huge hunger to learn, but lack the resources at home and school to really tap into this desire to learn, particularly through the use of 21st century technology.

My students are among some of the most fascinating I have ever worked with.

They are 100% ESL (and comprise 65% of the school population) and have a huge range of personalities, from fun to serious and everything in between. They have voracious appetites for learning and are always ready to try something new!

My Project

I am requesting a few basic technology materials. As a floating teacher, I need to be able to have easy access to items I can use with my students that are also portable. Receiving an external and portable hard drive, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard means I can bring my laptop to class and have children be able to comfortably use it. These materials also allow me to bring a large amount of files and activities with the portable hard drive. We are moving to centers based learning this year and having portable technology also means I can incorporate a lot more 21st century learning into my lessons.

I want my students to feel that the technology so many of us take for granted, isn't such a special school item, but rather is a natural part of their education.

I want them to grow up to be students who are comfortable and proficient around 21st century technology.
