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 teach a heterogeneous group of about 180 4th graders who try to escape the daily adversities that are the realities of their lives. Most of these students come to school with no basic supplies and many of these students do not have any support at home. Learning is the last thing on their mind.

Many students lack the motivation to learn these days-no matter what learning capabilities they have.

With all of the social and emotional difficulties at home and emphasis on state testing, who could blame them? I try to instill the love of learning by making education fun. I like to use colorful presentations and real images of what I am teaching. With generous donors like you, I was able to get a multimedia projector. Since then, my students enjoy my presentations and look forward to learning every day. In addition, many of my students are learning disabled and/or English Language Learners so having colorful, interactive activities are critical for them.

My Project

Since I will be teaching 4th grade science for the first time this year, I would like to get interactive games and software that will reinforce science concepts including life science, physical science and earth science. Understanding these concepts is very important for them because they have the Grade 4 state science exam. Having these fun games (electronically or not) will help them practice what they have learned and for the state science test as well but in a fun and creative way. In addition, these activities can be used by the students as a whole class, in small groups or independently by themselves. With your generosity, you can help my students get the basic technological tools to help them learn. I would also like a class set of twist-up crayons so that they can create cumulative science art projects at the end of each unit study. With about 180 students using them in a given day, a set of twist-up crayons will be more durable then a box of regular crayons.

I truly believe that all students can learn.

I have taught in the gifted and talented classes as well as the inclusion class where a part of the student body is special needs students. No matter where their abilities lie, I know that all students can be engaged and love the world of learning. They just need to be motivated and know that their teachers care about them. What better way to show them than by utilizing the best way to teach and to make it fun?
