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 in 4th grade. Some have seen more than their share of violence, abandonment, and neglect. I have refugees from war-torn countries who, upon entering, had never been to school a day in their lives and yet they try. They work hard, they give their best effort each and every day. They are excited! Look at me, hear me, see me, love me. In my wonderful melting pot, I have four foreign languages represented and our universal language of sign to help us communicate with each other when necessary!
I teach in a Title I school in Hartford, CT where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students receive free backpacks from neighboring towns. My students want to learn and deserve the very best.
My Project
We can use these Chromebooks to visit sites such as Epic. These sites allow us access to books that we do not have access to. These sites inspire our thinking and develop our background knowledge.
In my classroom, we are actively working on writing new pieces.
We are learning about fairy tales, opinion pieces, persuasive essays, and so much more. We have discovered that we can use Google Classroom to participate in a positive manner in other student's work. Amazing stuff! These Chromebooks would allow an entire group to be working at the same time and give us the ability to work as a group instead of isolated individuals.
