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 creative and enthusiastic about learning. Most of my students come from low-income households and/or from other countries and have not had much experience with the world outside their small community. My students have different learning styles; they are an inclusive group of both general education students and special education students who have a range of needs.

Many of students are now learning fully remotely; they are forced to continue their learning from home, and this new routine of learning online has been a big struggle for them.

Learning remotely has had a huge impact on my students, specifically those with special needs.

My Project

My students are a mixed group of students with disabilities who are impacted by their attention, focus, and ability to reach grade level standards. They often struggle to stay engaged during lessons. These students have different learning styles; they are visual, kinesthetic and auditory learners. Thus, they learn best when lessons are presented to them in a variety of different mediums.

Being able to screen record my math lessons with audio while using an iPad can help support student learning in times of distance learning.

Some students do not have reliable internet; thus, being able to provide them with color-coded recorded lessons that could be watched at any time, will help them continue learning regardless of where they’re learning or what their internet situation is. The iPad and apple pencil will be used to create color-coded lessons, as such can support mathematical thinking by helping students not only organize their thinking, and make thinking visible, but also make connections. Using the iPad for math lessons can also help strengthen visual representations to help internalize their learning.
