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

My students work hard and come to school everyday not matter what’s going on in their lives (good days and not-so-good days).I love how they show their GRIT everyday even when things get difficult outside of school. I love how their friendship is important to them and they know how to use technology probably better than I do. I love how they care about their education and work hard to do what’s best for their future and represent their family proudly.

My Project

This project will help my students struggle completing electronic assignments at home because of no computer use or limited computer access. Getting them used to how to use technology in real life situations (doctors, dentists, teachers, business owners). Giving them opportunities to increase their typing skills because of the movement to a more digital classroom with electronic assignments (class work and homework). Giving them summaries to complete on social studies while using a rubric to meet necessary expectations. Typing a country report while accessing numerous online media (photographs, video, audio, etc.) for typed documents checking formatting requirements, online plagiarism checks and multimedia presentations.
