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 currently work as a blended 5th-grade teacher in the South Bronx, NY. Our students have a lot of potentials that need to be nurtured. Most of my students live locally within walking distance, and some travel by school bus, city bus to our school. They live in a low socioeconomic neighborhood. Some of them live with grandparents or other family members and some live in shelters, nearly all of them come from low‑income households and get free lunch.
They are growing up in a tough neighborhood, one of the poorest in the United States, and often faced difficulties at such an early age.
Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and warm environment in the classroom so they could know how special they are.
We always start our day with positive affirmations hoping that they carry these words with them in their life to help them remember their worth.
My Project
The iPad will be a perfect tool to improve my teaching techniques and enhance my students' learning during remote days.
The iPad will help me to see all my students' engagement during remote lessons since I'm not able to see all their faces at the same time on my laptop.
Being able to observe all my students allows me to see if they are understanding or struggling with the lesson been taught.
It will also help me supervise different groups while using break-out rooms from the zoom feature. I will also be able to use whiteboards easier to model for my students since it's very hard to use the pencil feature on a laptop.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
