Celebrating 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 are hard working and kind. Most importantly they are persistent and resilient. During this pandemic they have shown me that despite the many obstacles and hardships this pandemic has brought they will not let anything stop them from learning.
100% of my students come from low income families, many of their families have lost their jobs due to covid-19 leaving them with very little resources.
Asking the parents of my students to provide technology for distant learning is out of the question.
Seeing my students put so much effort during distant learning despite of the lack of resources inspired me to create this project. My students were relying on outdated cellphones with bad signal to participate in distant learning. We often had connection issues but my students always made the effort to connect to the class and participate as much as possible.
My Project
The materials I am requesting for my students would positively impact their education not just for distant learning but also when we return to school in person. There are many resources available for me to create interactive and engaging lessons for my students. However, due to the lack of technology it is difficult for them to participate in these lessons.
Having these tablets and cases would allow my students to be more engaged in their learning and collaborate in projects with their classmates without having to rely on small screens and outdated phones.
These tablets would also serve as a resource to help close the educational gap many of them currently face.
