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 at a small, Title I-funded charter school with over 60% poverty. Sixty percent are English language learners (or non-English speaking), and there are high trauma rates.
My students are eager to learn and grow!
I want them to be excited to come to school, to feel welcomed, included, encouraged, and supported.
My Project
As technology is becoming increasingly relevant, it is important to develop computer skills right from the start. Several of our curriculums are computer based even in kindergarten.
Kindergarteners are still developing their muscles and coordination skills.
It is very hard for my students to master the drag and drop that is needed to answer certain questions within their computer curriculum. Some of the touchpads on the computers glitch which makes these tasks increasingly difficult. A computer mouse for each student would let them spend their energy on answering the questions instead of manipulating the keys.
The hanging shoe rack will be used to store each student's mouse. The brads are not for computer use but they are still for tiny hands as we have found a need for them during various activities such as learning wheels or movable parts. The safety pins will be used when zippers don't work or other clothing malfunctions in the classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
