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
We are a diverse first grade, integrated collaborative teaching (ICT) class, with a combined mixture of general and special education students at a large, high-needs, Title I school in the north Bronx. Although the majority of students come from low-income homes or from homes with limited parental involvement, they are enthusiastic and truly come to school every day ready to learn. These children see school as a consistent part of their daily lives and strive daily to make me proud.
My 24 first graders are some of the happiest children I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Not only do several of them struggle with unstable home lives, but many cope with various disabilities, such as ADHD, autism, and speech and language impairments. These kids inspire me to provide the best education I can for them.
My Project
As a 1st grade special education teacher, I know my field comes with its unique challenges, and students are often discouraged when it comes to learning virtually. It is for this reason that I want to do everything I can to make learning as fun and rigorous as I can, so that each student is made to believe that they are capable of learning anything.
With a dual monitor I will be able to more easily record lessons for distance learning, and also multi-task in a traditional classroom in a way that allows me to transition as quickly as I expect my students to transition.
For distance learning especially, this will allow me to record lessons from school or home by having the material and recording software pulled up simultaneously.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
