it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Every day, energetic 2nd graders greet each other as they enter the classroom ready to learn; school is their only private space in which they have ownership of, feel safe, and are a valued member of a community. Most of the students come from low-income families. Often times, many are close to homelessness, have social emotional trauma. This makes school during this unique time and with our challenges even more important for their stability.
Although A-3 second grade students are faced with so many unique obstacles, it does not stop them from coming to class ready to learn, and build higher level thinking skills.
Many students are from households which do not have parents with computer literacy skills in this social economic and demographic range.
These students are amazing children that could offer society so much more with STEAM collaborative blended learning challenges, coding, typing, math, SEL, and language arts digital learning skills. The goal is to be able to provide them with 21st Century skills and computer literacy opportunities to aid them in successful futures and versatile job opportunities.
