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 quite extraordinary! This year I'm working exceptionally hard with an ICT class split into two separate classrooms. Yes... you heard that right... I'm teaching fourth grade in two separate classrooms. My students are learning how to cope in these crazy times and doing a phenomenal job at it! Even though we are all not together this year, it's great to get to see everyone online. My students are really lovely kids—hardworking, funny, and bright. They live in a disadvantaged community, where resources are scarce and teachers have to work really hard to acquire supplies and plan enrichment activities.
My students do their best to comply with all that we require of them, which means a large amount of test prep and a small amount of recess.
As their teacher, I owe it to them to try to bring fun and creativity to our school year to the best of my ability. Many of my students have special needs, ranging from learning differences to emotional disturbances, and it's important to me to make learning fun and enjoyable for them.
My Project
As I have started working with students in their homes, I have noticed they are having a difficult time cancelling the noise in the background and focusing on the work at hand. Although we asked for headsets on our supply list, very few students have actually acquired them.
I believe having these headsets will allow students to have a better learning experience by listening clearly to the lessons from teachers, specialists, and interventionists that provide them instruction.
My students are working in a hybrid environment. Sometimes they are learning from the school building and sometimes they are learning from home. Having a headset they can take with them will ensure a better learning experience.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
