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 students are a wonderful group of kindergarten English-language learners (ELLs), typically requiring specialized or modified instruction in both the English language and in their academic courses. They bring a special mix of linguistic diversity, and culture to our school. We are a Title I school in a low-income community; Free breakfast and free lunch are available to every child in our school each day. This year I decided to bring all the positive commitment and energy that I can find in my class because they deserve that and much more.

My Project

During this Covid-19 Pandemic, we have had to adapt and change how we give instructional content in order to reach every single child's potential. My students, as they come from a low-income background, they have little or no background educational experience. This means that Kindergarten is their first experience in a classroom. By having an IPad, I will be able to deliver a wider variety of teaching materials and give one-on-one instructional information to students who are struggling. In addition to these benefits, I will be able to personalize lesson based on each student's way of learning and progress.
