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

My students get really excited about reading. We are a small community school located in the big city of Miami, which has lots of distractions. My students get motivated with the smallest of incentives, even when the library is decorated. I want to continue to attract their attention to our Media Center. I want to be able to provide them the resources they need to learn through books.

As the Media Specialist, I want to encourage students to feel comfortable and highlight the fantastic resources our Media Center has to offer.

Most of our students love to read and come to the library at least twice a week. I need these students to continue to come to the library as they get older and feel that it's not just a place for the primary grades.

My Project

During these unprecedented times my job roll has changed drastically. I continue to be the Media Specialist, encouraging students to read eBooks. Additionally, I have a 4th grade class that I teach Reading and Language Arts to. These students are all at home, learning virtually. The Airpods will allow my students to hear me clearly without any of the nonsense associated with a regular mic and speaker. The iPad will give me the freedom to teach them from anywhere, such as the school garden, library or visit the cafeteria to learn how it works.
