Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 are amazing children and they are always ready for their next challenge. They are always looking for new ways to help each other.

They walk into my classroom every day ready to learn and excited to explore and discover what the new learning will be.

They come from hard working families and are always ready to learn, explore and challenge themselves.

Our classroom is always filled with laughs, conversations, discussions and acceptance. My students are caring and always looking out for each other.

My Project

My students are using their technology on a daily basis to create, manipulate and enhance their assignments and projects. I want my students to be engaged and proficient while using technology. The stylus pen will help students type faster, create art, posters and select choices easier than trying to use their fingers. Students at this age are growing and their motor skills are not fully developed. Students will also be using the stylus pens to complete their writing assignments and digital art lessons, which will be published and posted around the classroom.

With the help of the stylus, the students will be able to write and select items on the iPad screen a lot easier, instead of selecting 2 or 3 different choices.

Students will also be able to open, close and select apps and select answers while they practice their math concepts in my class.
