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

I teach 2nd grade and my students are diverse from low economic homes. I currently teach a busy group of 20-second grade students. The majority of my children are far below grade level. These children come to school every day with very diverse needs. As their teacher and caregiver, it is my goal to ensure that my students are the most successful that they can be. In my room, we constantly look towards to future by considering ourselves the Penn State Class of 2034. Every little bit that you fund, a child gets closer to that goal.

My Project

Students have very different needs, especially within our school. Our students need individualized instruction in order to grow in all subject areas.

Tablets can help to quickly differentiate instruction and interventions.

Apps and programs such as IXL, RAZ-Kids, Brainpop and more can provide students the extra instruction that they need in math and reading. There are also many phonics apps that can enhance students' knowledge of letter names and sounds. During morning work, students will have assignments designed to meet their specific needs and learning goals. Special Education students who are pulled out can also use the tablets upon their return to grow their skills to reach grade level.

Fire tablets are an effective and easy way to differentiate work for students to ensure they are growing.
