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'm a 4th grade teacher at JLES in Silver Spring, MD. We are a Title 1 school with a 95% FARMS rate and 85% of our students are English Language Learners. The students and their families come from all over the world and speak many languages. These students are so special because they work so hard to beat the odds and do well in school. They don't always have the best home lives, but they always come to school ready to learn! Most of our parents rely on us and their children to help them communicate, survive, and thrive.

My Project

Help my students get access to on grade level reading articles that make learning fun and exciting! TIME for Kids focuses on current events and feature stories aligned to grade-appropriate science and social studies topics! The students will be able to learn about current events in science and social studies, while having access to hundreds of other articles online at Timeforkids.com. It is essential that students can read stories about topics that are relevant to students and reflective of the world around them! Reliable headphones are essential for allowing the computer to read to the students and watch new videos!
