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

The way of teaching mathematics has changed in the past few years. Gone are the days when the teacher would direct the lesson in the front of the classroom. We now have to be ready to present lessons with computers, overhead projectors, and special computer programs that monitor their progress.

My students attend a public school in Florida.

Our school is a Title I school, as the majority of the students are on free or reduced lunch. Over 90% of the student population is ESOL (ELL) who are limited English speakers. Our school is also over 90% Hispanic, however we do have some students from other countries. They all show the same joy of learning and enthusiasm.

My Project

The laptop that I am requesting will be used in a variety of ways. First, it will allow another computer in the classroom for the students to use. We are required to use a new math computer program daily with the students. With only four computers in the classroom it is difficult to have everyone visit the computers every day. An additional computer will help with the rotation of students to visit the program more often. In addition it will help to set up a center where students can be working on a website as a group and solve mathematics challenge questions together. The cover that I am requesting is to protect a tablet the students are presently using in class. The cover will help maintain it in good shape. The HDMI cable will allow the students connectivity to other media with the tablet.

It is a known fact that students learn in a variety of ways.

Some are auditory learners, while others may be visual or hands-on learners. Most learn best by having a variety of opportunities to learn. The laptop will add visuals and manipulatives to students. It will allow group discussion in the learning center as well. At the moment technology is a high motivator to students and if we can motivate them then learning becomes easy. When we make it fun they don't even know they are learning!
