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 Project

What I love most about my students is their resilience, creativity, and hunger to learn. Many of them are bilingual, bringing rich cultural perspectives and unique strengths into our classroom. As a Title I school, we face challenges with limited resources, but my students never let that hold them back. They come each day eager to grow, explore, and succeed.

The Osmo Genius learning games will provide my students with hands-on, engaging experiences that support both academic growth and language development.

These interactive tools are especially valuable for bilingual learners, as they help reinforce vocabulary, reading comprehension, and critical thinking through visual and tactile play. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablets are to connect the Osmo Genius learning games, these will be used during centers, while I working in small group instruction to meet the learning needs of my learners.

For many of my students, access to technology at home is limited, so Osmo gives them a chance to build digital literacy skills while having fun and learning. These resources will support individualized learning, help close achievement gaps, and empower my students to reach their full potential.

With the right tools, my students can do incredible things—and Osmo Genius will help make that possible.
