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
My students are quite extraordinary! This year I'm working exceptionally hard with an ICT class split into two separate classrooms. Yes... you heard that right... I'm teaching fourth grade in two separate classrooms. My students are learning how to cope in these crazy times and doing a phenomenal job at it! Even though we are all not together this year, it's great to get to see everyone online. My students are really lovely kids—hardworking, funny, and bright. They live in a disadvantaged community, where resources are scarce and teachers have to work really hard to acquire supplies and plan enrichment activities.
My students do their best to comply with all that we require of them, which means a large amount of test prep and a small amount of recess.
As their teacher, I owe it to them to try to bring fun and creativity to our school year to the best of my ability. Many of my students have special needs, ranging from learning differences to emotional disturbances, and it's important to me to make learning fun and enjoyable for them.
My Project
These Chromebooks will be used to help my students engage with remote learning. As we are now many months into the pandemic, can you believe that I still have students who are on a waiting list for a computer by our school district? I hope that this project will get funded soon so I can help disburse these Chromebooks to the students who need them for remote learning.
We use Google Classroom every day so these computers work perfectly with G-Suite and are durable for my students to use.
One of the things that we can't seem to get enough of is just getting to see each other on Zoom each day during these rough times. Unfortunately, some students haven't been able to connect. I hope this project pulls through so I can finally reach all students!
