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 twenty amazing 3rd grade students that show up to class eager to learn, despite the challenges they are faced with, both in and out of the classroom. Our school is a low income Title I school that offers free breakfast and lunch to all children. My students have a wide variety of learning styles and levels, all of which deserve the best education possible. Every student in my classroom is unique, and everyone in the room respects each other. I care about my students and they know it!

My goal, as a bilingual teacher, is to encourage my students to love learning and to develop lifelong independent learners.

I especially love that my students try their best on everything that comes their way. They love to read and enjoy hands-on activities. They are great helpers, and I know I can count on them. Every day​, I make sure to instill good qualities that will make them amazing citizens. I want my students to remember me when they grow up, so I make them feel welcome, safe, and important on a daily basis!

My Project

I want to provide my students with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful innovators, critical thinkers, and problem solvers. The Sphero Mini robots I am requesting will allow my students to build on life and academic skills. They will learn to code by using Scratch blocks or writing JavaScript all while incorporating STEAM activities. Learning will be hands-on and fun-filled with all the cool activities included in this kit!

The STEAM skills my students will gain will help prepare them for the future!

I am excited to integrate technology into my lessons. I believe this is our way through to students and will help build up their self esteem. They will be able to see a side of themselves they've never seen! Technology is the future, and my students are an amazing group who deserve new ways to learn and engage them in their studies while learning code at the same time. In addition, I am requesting a Tech Tub which will keep all our our coding robots and gadgets charged. Please help us get two Sphero Mini Activity Kits to foster creativity through discovery and play!
