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.
In addition to the families who have been residents of our city for many generations, mostly ESL, I also have students who are refugees. Three of my families fled the civil and economic unrest of the Congo and were able to make a home with us. The three are among my best readers and are also bilingual, often chatting with each other in Swahili. My other refugee left Puerto Rico with his twin brother after the earthquakes. The boys now live with their grandparents and are working on acquiring English.
My Project
We can bridge the digital divide. Our district is using Google Classroom so students can continue learning. However, something was left out of the distance learning equation.
Not all my families have a device.
The district has linked with partners such as Zearn.org for math and i-Ready for literacy. But with no access to a device, students, who may be below grade level in the first place, will be even further behind as our time out of school continues.
Our school provided what portable devices we had (laptops and Chromebooks) to the older students at our K-8 school. My grade was not a priority. This is a chance to change that.
