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 in an urban district, with every child receiving free lunch due to high poverty. Our school is in jeopardy of being taken over by the state. With a huge financial deficit, it makes it impossible to buy supplies directly through our school system.
Many of my kids have learning disabilities and benefit from hands-on activities at different levels, allowing me to differentiate their classwork.
These children deserve the very best to overcome the poverty cycle and allow them to be college-bound!
My Project
At first, when a friend from Westport, CT that teaches there told me he got an Oculus Quest Virtual Reality machine for his classroom I thought that was out of hand...HOWEVER, after trying it myself including my 12 year old son, the possibilities for teaching and educational information are incredible!!! Since Covid-19 is on the rise, we are unable to go on real field trips, this is the next best thing!!! The educational programs such as National Geographic Explore VR, google earth and Anne Frank VR, tons of science activities such as Mission ISS learning about our solar system, MEL science which is a virtual chemistry lab, and tons of other scientific inquiry games and learning activities!!! I'm amazed at how much this can help in the classroom and hope someday we have enough to get a classroom filled with Virtual Reality headsets but for now one VR Quest will be good enough and used as a privilege for the students that are working well during these tough times.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
