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

Our students and their families are really special! We have a large school, with an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population, and we work hard to create opportunities for our community to get together to share their unique experiences and engage in and celebrate learning.

Because a majority of the families in our school live in poverty, we strive to create innovative learning experiences that build our community's collective repertoire.

We want to offer students at our Title 1 public school the same sorts of experience that students in rich public schools receive. We are focused on social justice and educational equity.

My Project

Having our own set of Chromebooks will make a huge difference in our classroom. We do a variety of project-based units, and we often need access to computers. Currently, if we want to use Chromebooks to search a topic (such as human rights, immigration, poverty, art, or environmentalism), create a Google doc, or post in Google classroom, we need to reserve computers from the library. The English department (approximately 12 teachers) shares one set of Chromebook. Having our own set, will definitely give my students increased access to technology.

The students will use the Chromebooks to investigate essential questions such as: How does a society's art and architecture reflect its values?

They will use the laptops to engage with content and integrate other subjects into their English Language Arts and Social Studies curriculum. These Chromebooks really will transform the learning in our room!
