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.
As a teacher in a low-income, high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students love to read and love lots of positive attention.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical." From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me.
I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
Education is changing and so are the students' desires to learn. The iPads will give each of my students an opportunity to have access to technology that interest them. They will be able to achieve their full potential in the classroom. The IPads will give my students opportunities to explore the world through reading of e-books and reading apps. They can learn new reading skills, writing skills and research skills as a result of having the IPads in the classroom.
My students will be more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of how to read and given the tools to make reading more enjoyable.
We thank you in advance for investing in the future. The students will reach their educational goals with these tools in their tool belt.
