Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 eager and curious first graders who love every opportunity to learn. They greet each day with excitement and show such excitement for new experiences.

Every day, students listen to books intently, learn through games, learn social skills, and revel at new learning.

First grade students are sponges for learning; this is a formative year in learning foundational reading and math skills. Watching them learn is one of my greatest joys!

My Project

My class has adapted wonderfully for the many changes this school year! As we spend more time in virtual learning, I am learning myself and adapting my teaching strategies in a way that will best help my students.

I am requesting an updated document camera that will enable me to add another camera to my daily teaching.

With the additional camera, I will be able to show students specific strategies for completing assignments by showing them exactly what to complete on the paper. So much of learning is hands-on, and with a document camera, I will be more able to model the hands-on part of learning! With this tool, I will be able to teach with a paper/book flat on the table, rather than holding it up to my laptop webcam. I am also requesting an additional USB port to ensure the document camera will function properly with my laptop!
