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
When you walk into my classroom, you will see my students working in pairs, in small groups and there is definitely a buzz. You will see students working on Chromebooks, iPad minis, and even personal smartphones. My students are used to using many different modalities to demonstrate their understanding. More than half of the students in our school come from low-income homes.
My students are a group of seventh and eighth graders who are English-language learners and Spanish-language learners.
They have been learning in both languages since kindergarten in our school, which is a K-8 grade school model.
My Project
Our school is currently closed. We moved to virtual learning two weeks ago. This was a decision made quickly. I've been working with the curriculum I have at hand, but I am finding that I need activities that are engaging while providing feedback.
My students need distance learning materials that are compatible with the Google applications they have available.
They also need more material for our next unit of study in science, which couldn't be better for a time such as this. We were supposed to begin studying living organisms, bacteria and viruses. The gift cards I am requesting will allow me to get materials created by teachers from TeachersPayTeachers. They will be a great source for teaching and learning during such a difficult time.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
