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

I have a classroom full of eager, and caring students. They are so full of life and love to learn! I love watching my students try new things. I teach a multi-age class of 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade. I have the privilege of teaching them reading, writing, and social studies through the workshop model. I love embarking on this journey with them!

My classroom is an environment where students have a choice.

When presented with a topic students come up with a list of questions they want answers to. This is what guides my instruction. I love being able to teach standards and teach what students really want to know at the same time!

My Project

Our students have loved using iPads to learn new things, play games, and create. They have loved it so much that they requested another iPad for our classroom! iPads help to make our learning environment more creative, collaborative, and engaging. I am also requesting two iPad cases. These cases will be used for the requested iPad and one that is already in the classroom.

Our classroom is an environment where students have a voice and choice.

iPads in our classroom help to be able to foster the choices that students have. In the morning students can come into class and decide how they want to start their day. Students can use iPads, Cricut machine, Bey Blades, art, play games, read, write, play Hot Wheels, and other activities of their choosing. Students use iPads to draw on Procreate, play games with their friends, read, write, research, and create on the Cricut design space app. Thank you for taking the time to read about our project!
