Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

My students are seventh graders from a Title 1 school in New York. We are a small school in a tight knit community. We have students ranging from Pre-k to 8th grade. This year, I will have approximately 70 students in three seventh grade classes. The majority of our student body are of Latino or African American descent. They are mostly immigrants or children of immigrants. Many of our students are English Language Learners. We are a community of learners that are striving for success in our classrooms.

My Project

A document camera in my classroom allows the students to share their work without rewriting everything on the board. Most of my students are proud of their work and would like to share with their peers. Some of my students are rather shy and do not like to share out loud. However, a document camera would work to be shared publicly or anonymously.

The document camera has a lot of flexibility; it allows my students to not only share work publicly or anonymously, it allows for a real discussion of the topic at hand.

Students are more likely to discuss their strategies when they can compared it to someone else's. It is also easier to discuss work that is not your own. Students are quicker to point out things that they notice, therefore allowing a real conversation to deeper understanding.

It also saves a lot of time writing on the board.
