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 Spanish Dual Language second grade students are enthusiastic, inquisitive, learners who with support, manage to expand their learning and develop culture awareness in many ways. Yet, they are all in different levels of literacy, language, and digital competency.

Distant learning has now added another challenge in my students' lives in connecting and engaging with their learning.

My Project

Ending the 2019-2020 school year abruptly due to Covid-19 was extremely difficult for my students and for me. As their teacher, I had the responsibility to continue their learning and maintain their engagement in an environment no one had experienced before.

From my home, I had to rethink my many years as a classroom teacher and find innovative tools to help me deliver instruction in the most effective way.

When I borrowed a document camera to help me out, I noticed that my students were much more attentive to instruction and learning. My lessons became more engaging than when I was just using the small whiteboard I had at home.

Having our own class document camera will help me deliver a better learning experience to my Dual Language students this coming school year. My students will be able to interact and make observations while I explain lessons, demonstrate activities with manipulatives, and work with student textbooks. This document camera will allow me to also scan and upload student work to be shared together live, or on other digital platforms like Zoom, Google Classroom and Nearpod.
