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
Steven Pinker once said, "We are visual creatures. Visual things stay put, whereas sounds fade." Steven's words play true in the way most students are learning today. They are visual learners and so they learn best when they are able to see the information that is being presented to them.
I teach literacy and social studies to 60 third grade students in which attend a Title One school located in the South Bronx.
They are always looking forward to being challenged and face their challenges with a growth mindset. They know that if they continue to work hard and never give up, each of their goals will be met. The school that my students attend everyday with smiles on their faces is one of the highest poverty schools in New York City in which 30% of the student body lives in shelters. Despite the obstacles they face on a daily basis, they are always eager to learn and never give up hope. As their teacher, I buy the supplies they need to continue soaring out of my own pocket. I don’t want to limit their growth based off of circumstances they cannot control, and most importantly I want to instill within them the joy learning and growing both mentally and physically can bring regardless of the challenges within your their lives.
My Project
Being that I teach a group of students that are mostly visual learners, a document camera would be very beneficial into aiding them to see what I am teaching and provide them with opportunities to teach and model to their peers as well. With the usage of a document camera my students will be able to hear and see as I am describing, discussing and/or providing evidence from a literature or historic text. A document camera is an excellent tool for my students to also be able to record and take pictures of their work to present to the class when conducting project base learning tasks and to save for later references as a resource in the classroom. Having a document camera in our classroom will allow us to interact with a variety of written and visual materials during the day which is important because it helps students to see the actual examples that are constantly being discussed but yet hard to visually see without representation.
Your donations will change how my students are learning in class, because we will move from being an inactive to an interactive class as we visually explore our thinking and understanding.
My students love to learn and enjoy being interactive with their learning, and a document camera will help us further our love of interactive learning! We really hope you decide to donate. As their method of learning deepens, so will their love of learning, which is priceless. Every dollar helps!
