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
Amistad Dual Language is home to the most curious and dynamic set of first graders. Although they have little bodies, they sure do carry enormous dreams and aspirations. They are optimistic little human beings that are always ready to explore and begin a new adventure everyday. They are fearless and persistent which makes learning so much easier and a lot of fun. The added bonus of learning in two languages keeps my first graders on their toes. They consistently challenge themselves to stick to the language of the day and thus impress themselves and everyone around them as their acquired language skills flourishes.
Amistad’s first graders are very aware of who they are and what they want to become.
They are risk takers with the wildest of imaginations that allows teachers such as myself to push past standard based boundaries, and provide them with the knowledge that they so eagerly seek. I am very lucky to be part of the first grade team, but what I am most proud of is being able to facilitate these beautiful little minds in exploring their full potential, and being able to carry their awesome personalities into the next grade.

Nearpod is a fun and accessible platform that can be used both remotely and in class.Nearpod is very simple to use for both teacher and students. This platform allows teachers to create fun and interactive lessons that provides teachers with rich data that assesses student learning through quizzes, polls, true or false and short answer questions that can be either typed or answered through a voice recording.
The benefits of Nearpod is that it allows students to learn at their individual pace while still acheiving the lesson's objective.
Students are motivated by the versatility of Nearpod that allows students to interact with the lesson through the accessibility of videos and drawing boards to enhance participation. Nearpod is a platform that allows students to get more out of each lesson due to how smoothly it enables teachers to engage their students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
