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.
Dr. Seuss once said, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" My students are unique individuals who are eager to learn and standing out is what each one of them does best. They shine bright and love unconditionally. My students are a generation of students that are growing up in a technology-centered world. I want my students to connect with technology and see technology as an aid, and as a supplement that can help them explore things they had no idea existed. I want to help my students embed their experiences with those in the classroom to ensure I'm supporting my students as a whole.
All my students come from different backgrounds but they all have something in common - their love of learning!
As their teacher, I strive to create a fun and safe environment that supports their individuality, that focuses on cooperative learning, that helps them develop autonomy and helps them prepare for their life and school career. My goal is to motivate each one of my learners and to let each of their personalities shine. I want to embrace their different learning abilities to ensure that each child in my classroom grows academically.
My Project
My classroom is a place where my students come to learn, make mistakes, experiment and thrive! The iPads are child friendly and there are many apps that offer learning opportunities for my learners. OSMO is the name of the program that merges tactile exploration with innovative technology, actively engaging children in the learning process. Their learning happens with hands on manipulatives that works on letters, numbers and writing.
My students need iPads, OSMO kits and other learning manipulatives because they need activities that will take their learning and push them to the next level.
These activities are rigorous and provide plenty of opportunities for them to work independently or with a group. The Counting Bear activity, Math Link set, Sorting set and Ten Frame set target specific skills that my students need to have a strong foundation in literacy and math. My students need to be exposed to concepts in more than one way. These manipulatives will let my students explore learning in various ways. The card stock will be used for my students to put their thoughts and ideas on paper.
