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

Our school is a dual-language community school that serves ECE through sixth-grade students. We provide a rigorous bilingual academic program that prepares all of our students for global citizenship in the 21st-century. In the school, 97% of our student population participates in the free or reduced-price lunch program. The student body is 91% Latino/Hispanic, 4% Black, 3% White, and 2% Asian.

My students love to learn and have the desire to learn at the beginning of their day.

My students struggle with reading, but they strive to grow as readers each and every day.

My Project

Teaching during Covid has been really hard! Teachers have had to come up with new ways of reaching their students. I teach reading. I have students who are in-person and online for their learning. I have groups where they are all remote, all in person, or a mix of the two.

As a teacher, we have to become innovative.

This project is a request for a second monitor and a document camera so that I can project my lessons to my students and simultaneously see them participate in the learning. I envision presenting a PowerPoint or Google Slide presentation to my students and having them read or participate in the phonics lesson as I teach to them. I appreciate any help that you may offer.

I anticipate using the book resources to enhance my practice for remote teaching.

Thank you for supporting my students.
