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

The school that I am teaching at is a low income school that is 99% free and reduced lunch. We are still able to maintain a high standard of education for all students due to our motto (110% No Excuses). We have received for the past two years "7 Stars of Distinction", which is one of the State of Texas highest achievements.

I am fortunate to teach our most challenging students.

These students require special attention due to their learning disabilities. Even though our school services this population, due to the small numbers of special education students, it is sometimes over looked. Our school has about 1400 students of which 133 are special needs. I work with special needs students in up to four content areas. Part of my job is to work with general education teachers and document the improvements the special ed. children are making. For this, I would like a tablet, which would be an easy way out of lengthy paperwork.

Unfortunately, my school was also affected by Hurricane Harvey and some of our technology, laptops were lost due to water damage from the storm. We are short 5 laptops for our Special students.

My Project

As a school, we rely heavily on technology. Unfortunately, the special education department lost 10 tablets due to the rains brought about about Hurricane Harvey. Students are able to do classwork and turn in homework online. These tablets are essential in the students' success. As we know, technology changes rapidly. Unfortunately, what is left as far as tablets, is outdated and slow. These kids do not deserve to be treated like second class citizens due to their learning disability. I only need ten tablets to help my students be successful in the classroom and after school tutorials. The rest of my students have older tablets, but ten of them have nothing at this point. I am only asking for 4 at this time.
