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

A typical day in 4A consist of learning, guiding, modeling, & teaching. Our class is always working hard, so all can be academically successful. By the end of the school year my goal is to have all on grade level. My biggest challenge getting them there is lack of resources to keep them motivated.

Our class consist of the greatest students one can ask for.

They are always cheerful, happy, and ready to learn. No matter what situations are in their way or dealing with, they still arrive to school with smile on their face and ready to learn. Our faculty and staff are so fantastic with our students that its like one big happy family. They are always lending a hand, motivating our student, helping all stay positive, and maintain high self-esteem and confidence. Our school is a Title I campus, located in a very low socioeconomic area, we have 98% of our students receiving free lunch. The majority of our students are being raised by a single parent, relatives, or grandparents. Regardless of all the cards they are dealt with, without choice they all manage to make it to school on time and ready to learn. These students in my class are what makes me love my job. I am always working harder to keep all engaged and challenged, especially since they are harder workers.

My Project

Our class will use the Infocus projector in all subjects. It will allow all students to follow along while the teacher is modeling lessons in each subject. The teacher will also be able to guide the students through lesson. The Infocus machine will be used by the students when presenting their power-point projects to the class. Students will be able to project their projects for all to see. Our class will also be able to use AirPlay to project their lesson & groups answers on iPads which will connect to the teacher laptop and project out through the Infocus for all to see. It will allow for differentiation, group projects, assignments, and class games. The Infocus will also allow our class to use less paper and gain more hands-on learning by using the iPads as a whiteboard. The Infocus machine will be used with a document camera. Our class can create and write papers which can be projected through the Infocus. Best of all it does not create chalk dust or odors like dry erase markers do.

Donations to this project will help improve our classroom by providing a better visual aid for all.

It will allow all students to learn at their own level and pace. Our class will be able to project their learning and allow for all to help edit and revise their paper. This project will allow our class to use more technology and save trees. Our class will have more opportunities to learn using different methods and resources which will meet the needs of all students and prepare for the 21st Century.
