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 classroom is comprised of many students who are immigrants and speak a language other than English at home, are gifted, or part of our special education programs.

I love the start of each day as students line up ready to get to class.

They smile because they know that something exciting will happen. I keep them guessing at what new things I might try or how I will read, and even what I just might wear (I came dressed as Dr. Seuss one day). These students all have different interests, from playing sports to reading a good book, but they share a common bond, the bond of curiosity and that is truly an amazing gift.

My students live in a high-poverty area in Arizona. Our school is a Title I campus, and 100% of the school is eligible for the free lunch program. Our focus goals are to greatly improve our writing and our math abilities, but a major focus is to improve our reading ability with fluency to comprehension in all aspects of our school and classroom.

My Project

Technology supports student learning in and out of the classroom because students love to learn in fun ways.

Having an iPad will help support small group work in my classroom by giving students the opportunity to showcase their thinking and explain to the group the processes they used.

This device will complete our new collaboration station in our classroom, giving students to ability to showcase their thinking as they broadcast their techniques on the collaboration screen for everyone to see.

Your support will help enhance student engagement as they get more comfortable sharing their thinking out loud.
