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 students are first, second and third generation immigrants from Central and South America. Their parents came into this country wanting them to have a better life and better education. They show enthusiasm towards learning and being part of a new culture.

My students are the reason that I love teaching.

Many of my students come from limited schooling and low income home. They do not have resources or get to experience many things that other students their age do. Regardless of their background they have every quality to be successful.

My Project

Being in a Title I school my students do not have the best resources or access to many books. Having iPads will give them access to thousands of books at their reading level and interest. The iPads would allow them to read books through online program that will help them monitor their own progress and send me a report that will help guide their individual instruction. The iPads would also be beneficial to guide them trough reaserch projects and will allow them to create projects using graphics, videos and other media. Think about the 34 students who will have access during daily workstation practice.
