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 students are a mixture of diverse learners and general education students. As a school, we're trying to include as many students as possible in the general education environment while still providing instruction in a smaller setting. To achieve that, teachers and students are collaborating across environments. We are located on the west side of Chicago and my students love learning and experiencing new things, especially when they feel it is a unique experience to our room.
Building responsibility and confidence makes a huge difference for my students.
We have rotations for math and reading to practice different skills and to build independence. It is difficult for my students at the beginning of the year, but by December, they can usually work for a full 30 minutes without teacher intervention during their independent work time.
Including my students as leaders in social-emotional and gaming situations has allowed them to be leaders and depend on positive behaviors for attention.
My Project
Adding a PS4 to our school's after-school options would allow us to start programming that engages students on three different gaming systems. A PlayStation would give us extensive options for team building, used games for sports, racing, and cooperation.
With a total of four systems and several PCs, our students would have access to all platforms where gaming occurs and allow them chances to work together in an emergent activity area in late middle and early high school.
Like sports, we hope to reach students who may be at risk or disengaged from school and give them confidence and drive to come to school and be confident in their academic and social skills.
