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

I teach at the nation's first bilingual school. My students are completely bilingual and bi-literate! Ninety-five percent of the students that attend my school receive free or reduced-price lunches. I consider myself not only their teacher but their guide to educational adventures that they would otherwise be unable to experience. I am fortunate enough to be able to impact the lives of 42 students who are always eager to learn.

My amazing diverse group of students is always eager to tackle any challenge I present to them and thrive when given the opportunity to work and learn collaboratively in a variety of ways.

My students are caring, creative, and independent third graders!

My Project

My class is in desperate need of technology in the classroom. Due to the pandemic and social distancing guidelines, the use of traditional computers in classrooms is not allowed. I believe that although we do not have computers my third-grade students should still have the opportunity to learn digitally. Having a set of classroom laptops will give my students that do not have their own devices the ability to work and learn alongside their peers in a safe manner.

With the integration of technology in the classroom, my students will be able to use the iReady online program for Reading, conduct research on writing and Science topics, participate in interactive learning games, and so much more.

I enjoy incorporating technology into my classroom because I see how effective it is in enhancing students' learning. Through online games, students are able to play while reviewing academic material in a fun and engaging way which would otherwise be boring. The laptops will also allow my students to use academic programs such as iReady and Reading Horizons that will help them close the learning gaps that were created during the pandemic by giving students personalized lessons designed to help them succeed this school year.

With new technology resources, my students will be able to practice and improve their reading skills as well as grow a love for learning in a fun and interactive way! My students will be able to continue to be socially distant, keep themselves and their classmates safe if we are able to get these computers.
