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 imaginative and fun-loving kids. They come from low-income households and have not had much experience with the world outside their small community.

Many of my students don't have the ability to learn online.

Many depend on worksheet packets and whatever books they have at home. Despite the hardships they are facing with school being closed, they are eager learners.

My Project

No pandemic will stop me from helping my students learn the skills they need to be successful in life. My kiddos were learning how to read, write, and do simple addition and subtraction before school closures. Now my living room is my classroom. Therefore, it is very important that I have the resources to help them grasp the concepts and skills they need to succeed in the next school year.

The iPad will help me during my Zoom meetings and mini lessons, helping my students by teaching them live or creating videos.

I can apply the Apple Pencil to write and model lessons. I can use the keyboard to type my lessons for students and to plan with my grade level team.
