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

My kindergarten students are amazing! Despite all their struggles at home, they come to school and our Google Meets with smiles on their faces, ready to learn. They especially love when we use technology such as computers, tablets and the SmartBoard for our songs, stories and reading and writing lessons.

My students and their families were hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a majority of them are now learning from home.

These students are ready to learn despite the circumstances and love coming onto Google Meets every single day! Additionally these students are English Language Learners, and are excited to learn the English language and how to read, write, and speak English!

My Project

As an ENL teacher, I encourage my students to use drawings and pictures to communicate. We also draw and label to help learn letters and sounds as they learn to read and write.

Having the stylus will give me the capability to model for my students exactly how to correctly write their letters and words, which I currently cannot do.

It will also help us communicate using drawings and pictures, as well as allow me to model for parents exactly how to use some of the apps and programs they need to use from their Dept. of Education issued iPads.
