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.
They like to move, they love to draw 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 hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
Flexible Computers will help my students to further expand their learning by being able to use technology to do further research on topics we are studying. This will allow students to get more experience typing up reports as well as be able to work more comfortably around the room using the soft cushions.
These computers will allow my students to have at least one computer for every 2 students in the classroom at all times.
By having the soft cushions students will be able to work on the floor more comfortably. This project will improve their school lives by making learning more engaging as well as by making activities and lessons more memorable to them. Students will be able to use technology to save their work from fourth grade and be able to look back on it as they grow older.
