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 teach the most amazing Kindergarten students in the world, so I'd like to provide them access to that world!

Currently, the device I use for work is outdated and often unreliable, which creates challenges while working with students in small groups, along with collaborating with my classroom parents and colleagues.

By having a MacBook laptop, I will be able to share information with my students in a small group setting as well as collaborate with parents and colleagues. While in small groups my students will be able to visit websites such as STARFALL, YouTube, and other sites that will help them master the Kindergarten standards before moving on to first grade.

Thank you for considering my request. Your generosity would mean the world to me, and I sincerely appreciate your ongoing support of my classroom and my professional journey.

Warm regards,

Miss Wilkinson
