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 have a classroom filled with diverse learners with varying special needs. Each and every day I engage my students in rigorous instruction. Pad's capture their imagination. We need iPad covets in order to utilize the ipads.

My students are a diverse population with various different special needs.

Each students has different needs and learns in a different way. Technology is an amazing way to help reach all learners. Whether it be research, reading a text, doing an assignment, or typing an essay; the technology helps learners succeed. We have the technology, but need iPad covers so my students can utilize the resources.

My Project

Students with special needs learn in a different way. Technology is an amazing way to help reach all learners. Whether it be research, reading a text, doing an assignment, or typing an essay; the technology helps learners succeed. Technology will help my students with special needs succeed and enjoy learning simultaneously. We have the ipads as soon as we have the iPad covers, my students will be able to use the iPad as an educational tool.

My diverse learners with special needs will be able to access parts of the curriculum in a manner that reaches them.

Technology taps into learners funds of knowledge. This will help my students succeed. Having iPad covets will allow my students to reach their needs using technology.
