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

Students who enter my first grade classroom come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences but unite as a team in our classroom community. The one thing they have in common is they are insightful, inquisitive youngsters who are ready to get their gator gears engaged for learning. We have fun, yet focused days filled with creativity, inquiry, exploration, and hands on learning.

Our goal is to expose our students to as many learning opportunities that will prepare them for the future as possible.

We strive to provide our students with hands-on activities that allow them to learn in their own way. My students, like many other first graders, learn best through hands-on activities, projects that get them up and moving while stimulating their creative thinking. We owe it to them to give them every resource possible to reach their full learning potential.

My Project

We have many wonderful resources at our school. Even with our exceptional technology, and immediate access to the internet, we still need the best tools we can find to maximize the effectiveness of all our resources. First grade is also when significant emphasis is placed on writing and penmanship. Students being able to watch the teacher model correct writing procedures, and many other small scale fine motor tasks is very important.

This document camera would be such an asset to our classroom and is undeniably an incredible, highly engaging tool suitable for young learners with various learning capabilities.

This camera will help create an accessible adaptive equalizer for those who require optical aids and graphic organizers for successful visual, verbal and spatial processing. With this document camera, the teacher can essentially be right beside every student in the classroom at the same time.

My students are also in need of additional Osmo Genius Kits and Coding Awbie game for coding with their 4th grade STEM Buddies to create opportunities for them to collaborate, create, think critically and enhance their digital learning capabilities.
