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

This kindergarten class is full of incredible students. For many, this is their first time ever in a structured classroom environment, and it is also their first exposure to the English language. They come from all over the world providing diversity, allowing us to celebrate our similarities and differences. My students are enthusiastic, curious, caring, and creative. These students are members of a Title I urban school in Richmond, CA, a school where all students qualify for the free breakfast and free lunch program.

My Project

With our new reality of distance learning, an iPad and Apple pencil will help make learning more fun and interactive during our Zoom sessions and when I record videos for my students.

We will be able to use the iPad as: a whiteboard to practice our phonics, sight words and math; create anchor charts for reading and writing workshops; annotate our PowerPoints and much more.

Now and when we are allowed to go back into the classroom we will be able to use it for 1:1 assessments with ESGI. It will also allow us to download educational apps to work on together, and create projects that we can all collaborate in.

With Gratitude,

Miss Santillan
