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.
My Students
I teach a diverse group of moderate to severe learning disabled students, some with fragile medical needs. Some of the students have autism or Down syndrome, one with cerebral palsy, one with mitochondrial disease (making her very fragile). The students all have amazing attitudes and are very hard working. They love coming to school and learning. Each student has a fun, playful sense of humor and they make my "work" day, a "play" day, every single day. These students fill my life with joy and I want to provide the best and most meaningful education I can for them in return. I recently shared with a colleague that my students are gifts from heaven- I am so blessed to be their teacher!
My Project
My students are easily distracted by what is going on around them. We have been using old headphones that are breaking apart and would love to update with some new headphones that reduce the noise around the classroom environment, as well as add one additional piece of technology to our listening center so that there are enough chromebooks to use in small group language arts listening center/lessons.
When the students are able to use chromebooks and noise reducing headphones, they are able to focus, listen and learn to the best of their ability levels.
Though my students range in ability levels, each student is able to participate and achieve at their own pace, which makes the use of chromebooks and individual headsets pertinent to their learning needs and styles.
My students have limited access to technology in their home environments, so using technology like this at school is extra exciting for them. Learning simply comes alive for them when we use technology in our classroom. Thank you for considering this project to enhance student learning for my amazing kiddos!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
