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
As of March 17th, my students will be learning at home. School will be closed due to the COVID-19 virus for the rest of the school year. This presents a challenge, for my students and me. Our school is a Title I school, which speaks to the degree of my student's poverty, where over 85% of my students have free or reduced-price lunch, and where many of my students traditionally do not have access to technology, once they leave our school.
My Project
While we've been in quarantine and having distance learning, my students have borrowed laptop computers from our school district to learn. I, myself, have one district-owned computer to teach my students. An extra device will allow me to navigate between lesson planning, student engagement and student participation. I will be able to see students as they follow along during a science lesson on friction and gravity, a PE lesson, and during read alouds. When we return to class, students will be able to record themselves during their lessons and share them with absent or visiting students.
iPads will greatly enhance my ability to access all of my students during at home learning.
Last year my classroom was broken into. Five iPads were stolen along with many other school and personal equipment. With budget cuts, my school has been unable to secure funds to replace them. When we return to class, these iPads will continue to become part of our reading, writing and math centers. (I will write projects to replace the iPads as well as our class library that was vandalized.)
Thank you in advance for donating to my students' future.
