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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

All of my students are English Language Learners. We are a Title I school, with most of our students receiving free/reduced-price breakfast and lunch. My students are the most curious and resilient young people you will ever meet.

While adapting to middle school and fitting in may come easy to some, we all know it’s not the same for all children.

Hopefully, feeling like there’s a special place for them in my classroom can help ease the rocky roads of adolescence.

My Project

This laptop will be a powerful tool that will enhance not only my craft as a teacher but my students as well. This year I am completing a Multi-Tiered Student Support endorsement, as well as, an English Language Learners endorsement. These endorsements will ensure that I know the best practices to support my students' varying levels of learning, in addition to English language acquisition.

These courses will allow me to grow professionally in my knowledge of literacy, ESOL, and social-emotional learning, and having a quality computer will help me be efficient while I balance being a teacher and a lifelong learner.

The MacBook Pro will also be a great tool to help my students as they develop a media production team to practice researching and reporting on current events around our school and community.
