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

This vivacious group of first-graders from an inner-city community of Miami Florida is an inquisitive group of students who are always ready to learn despite obstacles. My students composed of English speakers of other languages (ESOL), special needs, and general education are curious and eager learners who love to learn new things. Our classroom is a student-centered learning environment, creating an opportunity to fully engage in literacy instruction. Although at different stages of learning each student has unique skills needs and a desire to learn. Despite their obstacles, the one thing that I see in all their eyes is an eagerness and excitement about reading and they are enjoying every step in their path to becoming fluent excellent readers.

My Project

With the help of this laptop, I can have more memory and the ability to use new programs to enhance my distance teaching.

My student will be able to enjoy interactive lessons with effective and engaging instruction!

My goal is to provide them with educational experiences that will sustain and promote this sense of curiosity and desire for lifelong learning. Having a laptop with the latest technology will help alleviate the struggles of online teaching. able to manipulate various presentations, maneuver through resources, all while ensuring my students are getting the help they need and deserve. This laptop would permit me to continue to improve upon and utilize best practices with the use of technology for my 21st-century learners
