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
Hi Everybody! I just wanted to let you know a little bit about myself and my students! I work as a 4th-grade teacher in a New York City public school teaching ELA to English Language Learners. My students come from all walks of life with a range of different strengths and needs and I am always trying to think of new and creative ways for my students to access their full potential both in and out of the classroom! Our school is a Title I school where all of the students belong to the free and reduced-price lunch program as we are in a primarily low-income neighborhood.
My students are hard-working, creative, and they are always excited to learn new things!
My students are terrific kids that are eager to learn more about literature, writing, spelling, and grammar! Unfortunately, many of them do not come to school with the supplies they need every day and/or with their basic needs met; so it is usually up to myself and my fellow teachers to help them be successful in any way that we can!
We are very excited for a wonderful start to an amazing school year!
My Project
The items that are in this project are going to really help out our classroom! They will be a great addition for us and help to make the classroom more technologically savvy!
I would love to be able to give our students access to the technology that they may not have at their homes!
We use our SmartBoard and Chromebooks on a daily basis, but it would be nice to have some additional technology to add to the mix! We are always doing projects and essays on our Chromebooks, so it would be such a huge help to be able to print the essays for our students so we can hang them on our bulletin boards to increase students' self-confidence and to encourage them to continue working hard! They always get such a 'kick' out of seeing their work being displayed! The podium and the SmartBoard remote will REALLY help us in the classroom. Not only will we use it for our lesson plans and to stay organized while we implement them, but the students will use them when they give oral presentations. The speaker and the microphone will be helpful for presentations as well! After having taught now for several years, I have found that students LOVE using a microphone in order to present to the class! It is one of the most encouraging things I have done for my students and it works like a dream (especially for those students who may be a little reluctant to speak up)!
Any contributions would be so greatly appreciated so we can have a more technologically advanced classroom!
