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.
When you walk into my classroom, you will see my students working in pairs, in small groups and there is definitely a buzz. You will see students working on Chromebooks, iPad minis, and even personal smartphones. My students are used to using many different modalities to demonstrate their understanding. More than half of the students in our school come from low-income homes.
My students are a group of seventh and eighth graders who are English-language learners and Spanish-language learners.
They have been learning in both languages since kindergarten in our school, which is a K-8 grade school model.
My Project
In the last couple of years, we have gone through several pencil sharpeners and this is much needed especially for math classes. I realized that when I get a less than heavy-duty sharpener, it is not cost-effective. Not only do my students go through pencils like water, but obviously they want well-sharpened pencils.
An X-ACTO High Volume Commercial Electric Pencil Sharpener in my classroom will supply that need.
We are also in need of laptop carrying cases for the laptops that go home for homework. We have students who do not have devices at home to complete online class and homework assignments. Carrying cases make the journey to and from school safer.
