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

As a first grade public school teacher in a low income/high need community, I try to expose my first grade students to all facets of learning in different mediums in order to help them meet their potential and enjoy the learning experience.

I teach a group of ambitious and curious first grade students who love to learn.

They are energetic and sensitive individuals who love to use their imagination in their written, oral, and artistic work. They especially love reading and hearing stories from Ezra Jack Keats, Mo Willems, Kevin Henkes, and Eric Carle.

My Project

My students respond very well to visual and interactive lessons. However, I only have access to limited technological devices to use for my lessons. I am hoping to get a document camera donated to my classroom. Since my class is a large class, it is often difficult for the students who sit in the back to see the books and lessons as clearly as the students in the front of the classroom. A document camera would help me enlarge picture books and other materials on the screen in order for the whole class to clearly see it. Using a document camera in my classroom will especially help my students improve their reading skills by providing an outlet for me to project different types of reading materials in which my students can practice their reading strategies and fluency skills in an interactive manner.

With your help, you will make it possible for my students to enhance their educational experiences by stimulating their visual senses, broadening their imaginations, and providing an outlet to improve their reading skills.
