Reading Takes You Places

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 seventh grade English Language Arts students are experiencing the greatest change in their lives. As the standards continue to push the expectations, it is our responsibility to continue to drive those expectations into practice and learning. Some may believe that seventh grade minds are set for success.

No doubt about that, but the middle school years are the shifting years for the child that is growing and reshaping their mind.

Together we can create that shift by providing them with new and innovative tools to make learning exciting!

My Project

Using the Google Daydream devices will help my avid readers have an opportunity to navigate into the world they read about in their novels. This opportunity will not only give them the characters' experience, but they will also allow them to learn about the many places reading can take you.

The Google Daydream Virtual Reality headsets would help them make instant connections to what they just read without feeling they have to imagine it or even still wonder about what this place is like.

The Google Daydream VR will be beyond the carpet ride experience right here in our very own classroom.
