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 range from age 4 to 12. They are the most caring, respectful, busy, smart, funny, inquisitive bunch of kids. They keep me on my toes daily. Most of my students reside in the public housing development that borders our school. An increasing amount of students reside in homeless shelters or other temporary housing. We also have a large population of students who are new to the country.
They come to us with many different needs and challenges.
I see most of the students in the school, including students who have physical and learning disabilities. All students are encouraged to learn and are held to the same standard, I just have to reach them in many different ways.
One thing they all have in common is that they love coming into the Computer Lab! I try to incorporate all subject areas and collaborate with classroom teachers so the children stay excited while learning.
My Project
This project will help encourage my students to become more involved in science, engineering, and math. Minorities and girls are underrepresented in these areas. My goal is to expose my students to many science and math hands-on activities so they can be better prepared to work in these fields. We were lucky enough to have iPads and Little Bits funded; now we are trying to keep the materials secure and organized. The charging station will help students become more responsible for using the materials. Students will use a checklist to help keep the materials safe, secure, charged and ready to go.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
