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
My students come from diverse backgrounds. We have over 5 cultures represented in our class and three different home languages spoken. My students come from working class families where most parents work full time out of necessity.
Even though my class is filled with students with a range of reading levels, they all have one thing in common.
Gaining new knowledge. They love to read stories and listen to stories. They're always asking when we're going to go to the library, can they write me a story or asking when I am going to finish the read-aloud. They also look forward to STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities. They love making connections to our projects to real world experiences and technology.
My Project
My students will use the Chromebooks to complete research projects, communicate with each other through classroom discussion threads, write papers on Google Docs, and practice math and reading skills online.
The Chromebooks will primarily be used on Google classroom to share students ideas and have online discussions.
This will students to improve their writing skills, respond to others using real-world technology, and practice their typing skills all at the same time.
The Chromebooks will also assist in the completion of research for papers and projects. In third grade students must complete several research projects (college posters, community project, California Indians, and famous African-Americans) to name a few.
With access to the computer lab only once a week, two Chromebooks will be a wonderful addition to our classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
