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 class is composed of 55 fifth graders in a general education class, with students with IEP and ELL learners and special education students such as autism.

A typical day in my classroom looks active.

My students are engaged in learning activities that get them moving, talking to their peers, and asking great questions. You will not see a lot of worksheets in my classroom. My students are learning through hands-on experiences.

I teach in a Title I school.

My fifth-grade students come from very diverse families. I am excited to share that my school is a genuinely diverse community. Not only do students come from varying ethnic backgrounds and places, but the life experiences that they’ve had are incredibly unique. My scholars are creative, thoughtful, and full of excitement!

My students are 9 and 10-year children that love coming to school. When school was closed in the spring of 2020 due to the pandemic not only were the kids wanting to come back but we missed seeing their smiling faces every day.

My Project

My students are currently using tablets and ipads, but because of their special needs need support to be able to complete the assignments. My students need help with typing on a nice physical keyboard than typing on a small screen. This can help students because it frees up cognitive energy so you focus on the ideas instead of just the language required to articulate them. Moreover, learning keyboarding improves accuracy and can help with decoding and sight-reading skills for children and adults who struggle with specific learning difficulties. In addition to that headphones are beneficial they can encourage children to keep learning. Whether they are aiding them in the education process, helping them hear better or blocking out sound during tests, headphones are an indispensable tool for students at home and remote. Also a mouse is beneficial for students with special needs a wireless mouse designed to reduce the stress on students wrists and give them more precise control will keep you comfortable for longer when doing assignments. These input devices are ambidextrous and support a quick and easy connection with students device.
