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 class is a family, a growing family! Each and every student walks into my room with a unique personality and learning style. They each bring something special to my classroom and I just love each and every special thing about them. I see every student that walks into my class as my own child because starting on day one we become a family!
The students who make up my class are strong readers, struggling readers, mathematicians, scientists, and explorers, but, overall, thinkers!
We love to learn new things and perfect the old. We learn by getting our hands into everything we learn. My students love to talk, sing, chant, and repeat so we are not a quiet bunch of learners and I wouldn't have it any other way!
My Project
Our lives have all changed in the past few weeks due to Covid-19. We live in an area that is not too far from NYC. Schools were quickly closed and I do not know if I will be able to finish the school year together with my students in our classroom. My district, as well as so many other districts, has begun to roll out a distance learning program. There is just one very big problem.......my students don't have the necessary devices to participate in such a program. My students' families do not have desktop computers, laptops, or iPads. If I had the technology, 25 Chromebooks, to give them to use at their home, they would be able to participate in our district's distance learning program and continue learning to read, write, and become excellent mathematicians.
I am so worried that my students will lose all the skills that they have gained in the six and a half months in first grade.
That would further widen the educational gap that already plagues my students. Please help me help my students so they can continue to learn and they do not fall behind in their academics.
