Celebrating 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 have come into high school behind grade level but these students are not quitters. We have a strong culture of achievement and encourage all students to prepare for and apply to college.
Were you to walk down the halls of my school, you might think you are in the United Nations.
We have students from five continents (and more than that from a number of islands) representing a diverse array of languages and cultures. My students are a mix of new immigrants and native-born Americans. All of them want to succeed.
My Project
This has been a year like no other in my teaching career. I've been assigned to teach the fully remote cohort of my school's students. Neither they nor I will set foot in the school building. I already see two challenges that I am trying to address in this project.
I want to keep things lively and engaging.
For that purpose I am requesting an air mouse, which will allow me to control my "pointer" without being tied down to a desk. As I interact with the approximately 30 students in each class, and try to keep them actively watching and engaged, I need to be able to move around. The air mouse will keep me in touch with the software while I move.
I am also requesting some storage boxes. I am teaching four different subjects. I will use the storage boxes to keep items for each class sorted and separate. What could be more boring for a student than watching the screen while the teacher tries to find the materials? By keeping each class with its own box, I hope to prevent that sort of down time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
