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
My kindergarten, bilingual students, 4 and 5 years old, are Spanish speakers coming from low-income families in a high need area in the Bronx, New York. All my students are English Language Learners or children with special needs who come everyday into my classroom, full of energy and eager to learn. They love hands-on activities and technology games during math, science, and reading. They also like engaging in projects that are challenging and allow them to think outside the box to find solutions.
As children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage in their world as well as mastering the new New York State Standards for their grade.
Unfortunately, my classroom is limited in some of the resources needed to provide each student access to important information, bilingual resources, and more than anything, it is limited in technology devices.
I look forward to creating projects, especially in Math and Science, that will contribute to helping my students obtain the knowledge necessary to master the Kindergarten standards while having a joyful learning activity. Your contribution in funding this project will make a big difference in my students' academic and social lives.
My Project
My students must be involved with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interests of my students. The new iPads and the Apple TV will bring the most modern, innovative technology to my students. My students will be able to use the iPads in subject areas such as math, science, reading, as well as in other classroom activities like small groups and centers. The Apple TV will allow my students to mirror and share their projects with the rest of the class through the SMART board. I am always looking for ways to grab my students' attention and get them hooked on learning.
My students will be engaged in educational apps such as Classkick (when solving math problems), Kahoot, Starfall, Splash Math, iReady (math and literacy), and Epic.
The iPads would help my English Language Learners be motivated to continue practicing the concepts taught while having fun at the same time. Help me obtain these tools to spark the interest of my young learners to the maximum!
