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.
My Students
My students are the most amazing kiddos! They are bright, energetic and curious. As a teacher in a high poverty and high mobility school, my students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, they show up with smiles on their faces and are ready to learn.
We are a kindergarten to fifth grade, Title I elementary school with about 450 students.
All students receive free breakfast and lunch. We are a proactive school with several before and after-school tutoring and community outreach programs. Our students' families struggle financially, but everyone is dedicated to helping our parents provide for their children.
The educators and support staff are amazing in their dedication and determination to make a difference in the lives of our students. Our goal is to give each student the very best education and the best support possible at all times. We will not fail in our mission, and our students share our determination to succeed!
My Project
These laptops will help enhance student technical skills, communication and collaboration opportunities, especially my ELL (English Language Learners) students. Students will be able to practice math and science skills with online programs (e.g. online programs like Scratch to created artistic displays from coding, iReady, Prodigy math, Reflex math, Learning Farm, online apps, etc.). Since bringing technology into the classroom is considered the best way to provide a 21st century learning opportunity, we want to use these laptops to boost students’ capabilities of learning anytime, and anywhere across many programs. For example, Scratch is a coding program that connects the arts with technology. Students use coding to create all kinds of artistic outputs, like google logos, games, and other art animations. Another example is that we have a wonderful science program called "Discovery Education, " which is mainly targeted for ELL students and is packed full with science education tutorials, videos and activities. Will you help me make this happen for them?
