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 class is an Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) class. Some of the students in my class have learning disabilities. I am a general education teacher and my partner is a special education teacher; together we design lessons to make sure all of our students are learning and being challenged daily. If you took a peek into my room, you would not be able to tell the difference between the special education and general education students. They are a happy, hard working group of children that don't let their disabilities or personal situations keep them from achieving.
My Project
My students have many different strengths and weaknesses. The reading independent reading levels of my students range from pre-kindergarten to second grade. No matter where they are, we expect them to make progress and improve their reading skills. One way that we help the students is by having them read text on their level daily. Our school has access to many online book collections but we don't have enough devices for all children to access them every day. The addition of 4 new IPads would mean that more of my students will have time to read and listen to stories on their independent reading level and higher.
Hearing stories being read fluently and reading along will help the children broaden their vocabulary and become better readers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
