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

I will be receiving at least 25 students for the upcoming school year. Our list can increase during the first week of school. I will have inclusion students which makes our classroom unique and interesting. I love that the upcoming 4th grade class are kids that have benefited from Donorschoose.org whilst in 3rd grade. They received flexible seating items to assist with focus.

I plan on instilling a theme of global citizenship this school year.

I look forward to teaching students how to give back in small and large ways this year. So, by having headphones this upcoming school year, they can use technology more efficiently to communicate and interact with others to build a network of support and friendship.

My Project

At our school, each classroom has a cart with laptops for student use. These laptops are used on a daily basis, however, it can still get noisy when 25 kids are on at the same time listening and responding to individualized instruction. In addition, The theme for my class this year is global citizenship and headphones will allow them to listen to messages from their pen pals without distracting other students’ learning. Having headphones will allow students to stay focused on their own instruction and will aid in my students being able to quietly and efficiently communicate with their pen pals.
