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

Online teaching has proven to have its advantages and challenges. Although we are grateful for the advancements in technology, something I have learned from the past month is that online teaching is not equitable. We consistently meet for our Zoom classes and most of my students are in attendance. I have set up an easy to use platform in which students have access to several different free online resources. Our biggest issues are in students not being able to access the material because of the lack of reliable devices and insufficient internet bandwidth making it difficult for us to connect.

Despite current challenges, one thing that has not changed is my students' wonderful imagination for writing, their will to learn, and their optimism.

Throughout our distance learning we have especially enjoyed writing. My students find great joy in creating writing pieces and then posting them in our classroom shared Padlet for others to view.

My Project

With 6 weeks in the school year remaining, I want to make sure my students receive powerful and meaningful learning in the best way I can provide through online courses.

We have devices and access to free online resources but we also need access to some of the basic tools we use for writing.

Ordinarily, the items I am requesting, like the pencil sharpener, Expo markers, felt tip markers, notebooks, and post-its would be easily found in our classroom. These items are important as they are regularly used throughout the day by both the students and myself as we go about our learning. Being away from our classroom, we don't have access to these basic tools. By donating to our project you would greatly help us in our learning.
