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

I teach a wonderful group of energetic, silly and excited first grade students. Their lust for learning is what makes being their teacher so much fun.

I strive to fuel their love for learning by providing my students with resources that they would not otherwise have access to.

Working at a title one school, I have a wide variety of students, each with their own unique needs, circumstances, and strengths. My goal is to create a warm and nurturing environment in which they can look forward to coming to each day and feel successful in.

My Project

Implementing technology in the primary grades can be so difficult. It is hard to figure out where to begin, let alone how to effectively put it to use.

I am excited by the opportunity to attend the CUE Conference where I can learn how other educators and professionals utilize technology in their primary classrooms to better teach vital 21st century skills.

I work in a school where students are primarily low-income. Due to this fact, I feel an immense responsibility for teaching students computer and problem solving skills at school since their home access is so limited. Technology skills are now viewed as essentials for future careers and it is important that title one students have just as much access to quality instruction as any other student at any other school.
