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

We are a third-grade, Title I elementary school in the less desirable part of the neighborhood. What these students are lacking in the pleasurable things of life, they make up for with desire and will to improve. Although these students do not experience many of the finer things in life, they want to learn.

In our world, our 3rd-grade classroom, we are a tight-knit group of students.

With that said, the majority of these students work hard to be a better part of the community. They want to improve their lives and know knowledge is the way.

We work hard every day to learn and express who we are. We are made up of a group of academic support students, who push in from their special education full-time classroom as well as general education students. We are Hispanic, Caucasian, African, Native American, and Asian. We speak multiple languages and need multiple things to help us get through our day.

We speak the language of acceptance and love, and that is what holds us together. We work hard from the moment we get to school to the moment we leave.

My Project

As we work on STEM projects, we need to be able to hear what we are working on. COVID has forced us to space ourselves apart, but we still need to work on our own. We would like to be able to use headphones to do this learning. We can get lessons and instruction via Canvas or Google classroom. These headphones will let us hear what we are working on and hear instructions to learn to work using comprehension skills. As we listen, we learn to put our thoughts into action and these actions into learning. If we can learn to put our thoughts into action and do it from what we hear, we will become better students and therefore better able to improve our knowledge base. STEM is the way of the future and putting our thoughts to paper is what we need to be able to do.
