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

My students are your typical sixth, seventh and eighth graders who love to explore and test out their ideas. They are eager to experience new ideas that relate to their life and then work with one another as a team. All of our students are quick learners.

Our students work hard to solve everyday problems and are encouraged to think critically and creatively.

They use their gifts to strengthen their work. They are always up for a challenge and work hard when the expectations are set high.

It is hard to imagine better students than the ones at my school. I am thrilled with the support our students get from our parents and community members.

My Project

So many students are working from home or via Zoom with a disconnect to their teacher and classwork. We have about 50% that are in school and the other half is at home. They all are struggling to stay focused and motivated to learn coding skills and create projects with a depth of ownership. This is the time to motivate and teach how their work has value by creating a classroom economy model and allowing students to bid using their classroom room money to buy $10 Amazon gift cards. Each Friday my goal is to allow students to participate in a live auction and bid on gift cards. Their money will come from participation and the hard work they put into the assignments each week.
