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
I currently work as a blended 5th-grade teacher in the South Bronx, NY. Our students have a lot of potential that needs to be nurtured. Most of my students live locally within walking distance, and some travel by school bus, city bus to our school. They live in a low socioeconomic neighborhood. Some of them live with grandparents or other family members and some live in shelters, nearly all of them come from low‑income households and get free lunch.
They are growing up in a tough neighborhood, one of the poorest in the United States, and often faced difficulties at such an early age.
Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and warm environment in the classroom so they could know how special they are.
We always start our day with positive affirmations hoping that they carry these words with them in their life to help them remember their worth.
My Project
An Apple Pencil will be a perfect tool to improve my teaching techniques and enhance my students' learning during remote days.
The Apple Pencil will help my students to better understand the lesson while participating in remote learning.
It will also help me to better model my lessons while using a digital whiteboard. Students will benefit from it by being able to see in the digital whiteboard the different strategies to solve their mathematical problems while they are at home. It will expand their learning and understanding of different concepts.
A ring lamp will also be very helpful to create videos with the lessons for those students that are absent or need extra support on understanding those concepts.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
