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

Spanish, Afrikaans, Arabic, Fulani, Swahili, Chinese, English, Creole and American Sign Language are just a few of the languages our students exposed to on a daily basis, both in the home and at school. My students, whom are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, are in a self-contained total communication program located in the Bronx, NY. We simultaneously use various forms of communication in our room to fit the needs of each learner. My students are very hard working, compassionate kids with a love of learning and experiencing new things firsthand. They are all incredibly intelligent and intuitive, but lack of language exposure and often times, lack of resources contribute to their lack of understanding and access to grade appropriate instruction. For this very reason, literacy instruction is key to their success and eventual language acquisition.

It is our goal to facilitate their learning through hands-on, student-centered experiences, while challenging preconditioned notions of society, their home communities and themselves.

The expectation is that they will become critical thinkers that will formulate their own opinions about the world and change it for the better.

My Project

My students are deaf and hard of hearing and require real life exposure and visual representations of new concepts to assist in their language acquisition. In the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, our students are required to take state test, which means increased complexity in writing, reading, mathematics, and critical thinking. This is extremely difficult with limited language exposure and mastery. Technology has been essential in this goal as it provides students with access to the internet and subsequently, multiple exposures in just a click. Unfortunately, our classroom has limited resources when it comes to technology for all students. The requested Microsoft Surface Go's will allow us to have more resources for our students to explore language and the world!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
