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 fifth-grade students love technology. They want to use it each and every day in our classroom. Some students do not have access to technology when not in school. This is a disadvantage for them because our world is constantly growing in technology and they need to be up to par for success.
Many are from low-income families.
In addition, the majority of them are ELL learners with English being their second language. They enjoy reading many different types of materials (books, magazines, newspapers, online articles). They are also active in technology. Each student has access to Chromebooks in our 5th-grade community; however, at all times they may or may not work. Within our school, all of the students receive a free breakfast each and every day. They also have plenty of after school activities for students to join and be a part of. There is even a club for parents to help them get jobs and learn English.
My Project
Our students are always thirsty! Also, water is important daily. Having to allow students to go into the hallway since my water fountain is broken in my classroom takes away from learning time and could lead to problems as well. This project will allow students to understand that water is important throughout the day, not just coming in and out of recess and gym.
The use of the water bottles and a water filtration system will allow students who do not bring water bottles from home to get clean, fresh water while in school.
Students will learn that water is important throughout the day whether or not you have to do physical activities. These items will allow all of us to enjoy school water that is filtered throughout the day allowing limited disruptions from class.
