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

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 like to work together and learn from each other and love being able to express themselves in their own way.

Many of them are being raised in low-income 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

Due to a higher enrollment size in my grade level I need to get more chromebooks to be at a one-to-one with my students. Right now students have to share chromebooks since there is not enough for the whole class. By getting these two chromebooks students will be able to be at a one-to-one ratio with computers.

This will make completing assignments on time much easier since students will not have to wait to use the computers.

Students can more easily see searches and type essays on the computer as opposed to on the iPads. Our district has also restricted access on the iPads so it is difficult for students to complete assignments on the iPads.
