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
I teach in a large, public, inner-city school in the Bronx. My students are wonderful second and third graders who struggle with learning due to learning, language, attentional or emotional needs. Learning a typical curriculum, differentiated to minimize the effects of their disabilities, the students are becoming problem solvers, reflective communicators, and active citizens of the school, community, and world.
Faced with "Blended Learning" this fall, my students' will be challenged in new ways.
They will return to school for several days of live instruction and receive instruction online during the other days of the week. In the spring my students and families met the challenges of "remote learning" with grit and courage. They showed perseverance while balancing work, technology/internet issues, illness, financial stress, food insecurity, and crowded homes.
My Project
This year my students will be learning from home and school. In the spring, my students struggled to find a quiet, distraction-free place in their homes during remote learning. During the virtual part of the blended learning experience, my students will need a way to cancel out background noise from their homes.
I am hoping to buy headphones that my students can use at home during remote instruction so that they can hear and focus on instruction.
Most of my students share spaces with many family members and so it is hard to find a quiet space in which they can learn free from distractions.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
