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
The last school year was so challenging for all our students. We operated on a hybrid model where the students only attended school every other day and were required to complete schoolwork at home on their "beyond the building" day. Some students were completely distance learning. Everyone struggled with this.
These kids are now back in school and learning in a new normal that requires them to wear masks at all times inside the building.
Many of my students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with limited resources available. I want to help alleviate this. Our school, built in 1965, is a Title I school in Nevada, serving 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students with 100% participation in the free breakfast and lunch program. Students are grouped in teams to build relationships with faculty, staff, and peers. This allows them to keep the same core set of teachers who will stay with them for their entire middle school journey. Team Texas is home to a diverse group of young people all striving to do the best they can with the materials they have.
My Project
These Language Translator devices will be so helpful to all my English learner students. These students are mixed in my science classes with other students who are fluent in English. These limited English speaking students are always in need of translation in their home language as new content is being taught or just simply for everyday conversations.
Receiving these Language Translator devices will help me to communicate and assist my students who do not speak English or have limited Academic English language skills.
I want them to learn and they want to learn. It is so sad to see the frustration on their faces. We have utilized free translation apps, but have encountered multiple hiccups. These Language Translator devices will greatly improve our ability to communicate and get information to our students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
