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 sweet, hardworking, English Language Learners. They are from very diverse backgrounds including Spain, China, Dominican Republic and that’s only to name a few! Seventy five percent of my students are either recent immigrants or have parents who speak little or no English. They are eager to learn and want to excel, but since the majority of their families do not speak English, the only time they can practice is at school with their friends and teachers. I strive to help them feel comfortable, confident and motivated to learn every day.

My Project

In this day and age most children start using iPad’s as early as two years old. They use it to play educational games that teach them the shapes, colors, reading, and math. They LOVE using iPad’s because it’s very interactive and they get instant gratification. Fortunately, my students have used an iPad, but do not have the privilege of having one at home. I want to bring this wonderful resource into my classroom.

These iPads would help my students in all aspects of their academics.

The Raz Kids application allows them to hear and read books. After listening or reading they then take a quiz on the book they just read. In my classroom, I have 2 unreliable computers that were passed down from previous teachers. My student’s get so excited when I tell them it’s their turn on Raz Kids and if the computer doesn’t work they get very disappointed. These iPads would be used so the students can continue reading, listening, and taking quizzes. The iPads would also be used for their research papers. I know it sounds surprising that first graders have research papers, but indeed they do! The students would use the application Epic Books!, to research about non-fiction topics. This year I had to run around the school, asking teachers to borrow laptops for when the students needed to do research. Having the iPads handy in the classroom would save time and allow the students to use them when needed.

IPads are an invaluable interactive tool that can be used in the classroom for all different levels. There are 19 students in my classroom that each need individualized support. Using iPads could really give them the extra push they need to continue to succeed!
