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

Imagine attempting to access multiple websites on an out of date phone, view videos and lessons on that tiny screen, and the type and submit responses. Now imagine doing that in a noisy, crowded two-room apartment shared with 3 adults and five other children. This is the challenge faced by more than one of my students. Several others have no one who speaks, reads, or writes English at home to help them. Another has had to move three times since the school has closed. Still, another shares the one IPAD with six siblings.

Yet, my rambunctious, curious, genuinely happy students sign on to our group chats as often as they can, with questions and stories to share.

My Project

The most challenging aspect of "Distance Learning" is the lack of hands-on experience. My students include both Students with Disabilities and English language Learners, who learn best when actively involved in the process.

Many of the children have had a difficult time with the concepts of both fractions and time.

The manipulatives requested would give them the ability to actively engage in the lesson, while allowing me to see their progress.

One of the experiences they miss the most was reading as a class. We would be able to read the novels together during our "chats."
