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

My first graders are a smart and energetic group of kids who have big dreams and the drive to make them come true! Each one of them comes to school each day with excitement and a desire to gain knowledge despite their poverty and socioeconomic issues.

The students at my school are racially diverse, and many face the added challenge of being English language learners.

They are an awesome group of kids who deserve to learn in a comfortable, resource-filled environment!

My Project

My laptop allows me to show the students' work through my computer. However, it is extremely hard to show my students examples from the workbook pages, live drawings or real time problem solving that I have in front of me on my desk. This document camera would allow me to write and project that image onto the computer. The students would see this image on their computer and be able to follow me on their papers at home. Since my 1st graders are visual learners this is a must for this age group!

This project will provide me with an effective and reliable way to teach my first graders during remote learning.

This is a very difficult time for teachers and students. It would mean so much to me to have a document camera that works and helps me provide meaningful lessons to my students during our e-learning time!
