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.
There are many great things going on at our school. Our school’s distinguished practice is health and fitness. We focus on many ways to incorporate activities to keep our bodies and minds healthy. This past school year, four schools competed in track and field. Several of our students placed and earned medals. This year, we brought music class to our school. Also, this is the second year that we are providing an after-school orchestra.
As a teacher of students who come from low-income families, I push them to persevere and be the best that they can be.
Living close to a tourist attraction, many of my students and their families are unable to go because they can’t afford it. Our school is a Title I school where the majority of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
Some of my students live in motels or a crowded room. Some of my students are responsible for caring for their younger siblings as their parents work long hours. Whatever the circumstances may be, they come to school to learn.
My Project
Currently, in our class, we have a really neat Promethean Board. We would like an iPad Pro and case, with an Apple pencil to draw and wireless display student's thinking. Students are constantly asked to justify their answer and explain their responses. I would like students to be able to draw it out. When done on a Chromebook, it doesn't look as nice compared to an iPad Pro.
I want my students to feel like an expert when they present using the latest tools.
In this case, we have a Promethean Board. The next thing we need is an iPad Pro. With both, they will be able to think like a mathematician or a scientist as they present.
