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

I teach Advanced Academics 6-8 in a K-8 school where most of them have been attending since Prekindergarten. They are at risk due to the influences of violence and poverty in the neighborhood where they live. As their teacher, I help them find the ways that their history can empower them to be their best selves and pay it forward so that others have that gift as well.

My students come from a historically black community that is on the edge of revival and they are motivated to make a difference in their community.

School is a place where they know that they can receive the education that will allow them to gain control of their lives and their future choices.

My students are smart and excited by succeeding in school, it is my role to set them up for that success. It is my hope that Donors Choose will help create part of that success.

My class consists of 20 amazing students. They all have a think win-win attitude and do their personal best to contribute to our classroom.

My Project

My gifted students are infatuated with technology. When they have the opportunity to create presentations using Google classroom, they outdo themselves. I love it too. My students are gifted and these last three years I have enjoyed when they show me, I show them, and we work together using computers. Our school has labs where we are able to get our required minutes using online tutoring, but we don’t have sufficient devices in the classroom for the enrichment work necessary in a gifted classroom. Currently my class has two outdated laptops that are not even working properly due to either keyboard missing keys or working very slowly.

My gifted students are at-risk due to the influences of poverty and violence that are a part of their community and having additional laptops in our classroom could help them stay focused in the direction of college readiness.

These tablets will help students to complete research projects for elementary social studies and middle school advanced academic courses. They will allow them to search for project ideas, gather pictures and facts, and create multi-media presentations for learning. As we well know, today we live in a technology-based world and many of the students do not have access to these materials at home due to socio-economic reasons. Therefore, these materials are crucial for learning at the school site. The skills developed by using and becoming familiar with such technology are invaluable and will only help these students to increase in other academic areas as well.

Please assist my students. If they can receive at least 2 laptops from this good organization, my students will have the necessary tools to utilize these for beautiful projects that will enhance even more the learning they receive at school. Thank you so much in advance for your help.
