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
Our school serves students in grades ETK-6. We are a Title I public school from the inner-city. More than 95% of our students are on the federal free meal plan. Most of our students get dropped off and arrive at school at 7:30 AM and continue to stay at school until 6:00 PM. In other words, our school is their home away from home.
I work with energetic and motivated second graders who are eager to learn.
I would love to have the opportunity to create an environment that empowers my students to reach their full potential as scholars and citizens of the 21st century.
My Project
Despite my students' and their families' best efforts, my second graders have struggled to adapt to online learning due to distractions at home.
No matter how hard I work to refine interactive lessons in Nearpod and to keep my second graders engaged and learned, it is just impossible at times to keep my second graders completely focused during directed instruction for another 10-15 minutes.
I often observe them fidgeting with other toys in their home.
Finally, I arrived at a solution! One of my colleagues shared that after giving her students anti-stress-relief finger toys, their focus improved dramatically. Please support me by helping my students overcome distractions from home by helping me supply these finger toys to my class!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
