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

Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with many of our students receiving free lunch. My classroom demographics is predominately English Language Learners. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, I see how my students are confronted with many challenges and obstacles equally in and out of my classroom.

For many of my students it is a language deficit because they do not speak English and for others it is because they do not have the materials they may need to succeed.

I want to provide my students with an enriched resourceful and meaningful learning experience. I want to give my students access to tools they will need such as computers to help them develop the skills they will need to succeed in the future. Many of my students do not have computers at home so consequently they do not have the hand and eye coordination to maneuver a mouse around the screen, or have simple computer skills to work with in a program.

My Project

What I will do if this project is funded, is that my students will have access to these computers on a daily basis. The eight chromebooks will allow my students to use quality programs designed to help English Language learners as well as Native speakers at their level. They will be assessed and the program will customize their level based on how they fared through the assessment. Because there are 8 computers I could rotate through all 24 of my students in one day.

While my students are developing their skills on the computers I will be able to implement and teach my curriculum with my other remaining students.

This rotation will greatly enrich the learning taking place in my classroom. Your generous donation to our project will improve my Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classroom by building stronger readers and writers. This will change my current students and future students' lives for the better.
