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 are very special first graders in a high needs area of a borough in New York. Most of my students are English language learners or children with special needs eager to learn and discover. Each student is unique in his or her own way and deserves to have the best educational experience possible. All of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
Unfortunately, my classroom does not have the resources needed to help my students advance in math and literacy.
My Project
The new iPads and the Apple TV will bring the most modern, innovative technology to my students. My students will be able to use the iPads in all subject areas such as math, science, reading, writing, social studies, art, and more! The Apple TV will allow my students to mirror and share their projects with the whole class using the smartboard.
Critical thinking and high-paced, interactive learning is a valuable component in a first-grade classroom.
My first priority with the iPads would be to provide my students with high-quality apps that would engage their minds and motivate them to learn. I would like to use apps like Classkick (so they can show their work when solving math problems), EPIC, Starfall, iReady, and Kahoot with my class.
The iPads would be amazing to have for students to research things like animals, community helpers, weather, and important figures in history. My students would be able to create amazing projects and presentations. I would also like to use the iPads during center time. I would be able to differentiate my instruction for all of my students' academic levels and interests.
I am always looking for ways to grab my students' attention and get them hooked on learning. The iPads would help my English learners hear stories read to them and would also translate words/ideas they may not understand in English. Please help me provide my students with iPads!
