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.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.
They like to learn and explore technology to the fullest potential.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical." From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
They will be expose to different ways of thinking and creating different codes to move Botley. Botley will make a huge impact in our classroom by increasing our technology awareness. Every student should have the opportunity to learn coding regardless of the school they attend. It’s impossible for our school district to provide our students with essential supplies; it will be harder to receive STEM supplies. Botley will teach ways to share with each other. It’s important for all students to learn how to work and communicate with each other since it’s required skills for many jobs. We can acquire many skills for the future.
