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

Like all good teachers do, we want the best for our students. I work in a wonderful fifth grade classroom in New York City with 32 students. My students come from a melting pot of different backgrounds and socio-economic statues. They are always excited to share any knowledge they have on a topic. As a class they love a good class read aloud and have so many exciting thoughts to share.

Although my students have the ability to be successful, many of them deal with situations that hinder their success.

Unfortunately many of my students live in shelters and have parents who work all day and night. Many of them come from low socio-economic families.

They come to school wanting to do their best work but lack some of the resources that would get them more excited and engaged with all tasks. The method and environment in which they learn best varies greatly. I try to incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly a unique and special group that I am lucky to have.

My Project

My students need Chromebooks to be able to complete research and other engaging work in the classroom such as centers, and writing tasks. We would like to start using google classroom. My classroom has a large variation of learners who require different means to learn. Chromebooks in the classroom would allow my students to learn in all different mediums. It can allow for learners of all different levels to come together and collaborate. It also allows for creativity opportunities. Students would be able to create projects and present their work in more interactive ways.

Chromebooks will allow for more interactive engagement and excitement in the classroom that my students crave.

My students also come from various backgrounds where they do not get to experience the use of computers often and need more practice.
