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

I have a wonderful group of 5th grade students who are highly motivated and have a true passion for learning. They are my inspiration as they push me to think outside of the box to develop learning experiences to meet their varying interests and diverse needs. My students represent a very mixed population both culturally and economically, and despite challenges, they always give their own personal best and push to succeed!

I teach at a Title I school where I am lucky enough to get to work with such dedicated and hardworking students.

I also get to partner with a group of supportive parents and equally supportive staff who share the common goal of creating a learning environment where all children will succeed!

My Project

I am looking to increase student engagement through the use of an HP desktop by integrating technology into their learning experiences. I also hope to build confidence in using online digital tools in innovative ways within our curriculum. This is part 1 of a 3 part project. My goal is to use the equipment to allow for the recording of podcasts, storytelling, and collaborations in making music using the Soundtrap platform provided by my district for my budding artists. The educational uses of the materials I am requesting will engage students to create in new and exciting ways!
