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

My students are in 5th grade and are working toward becoming proficient mathematicians. Through the use of rigorous lessons and with the supplement of technology, they work hard to reach their goals of making at least one year's worth of growth in mathematics.

Many of my students are not able to complete all technology requirements due to not having the resources at home.

Each and every one of them deserves whatever they need in order to become successful. No child should be limited due to their home circumstances. I am passionate about helping them exceed expectations, and I look forward to watching them grow and learn throughout this school year!

My Project

Students in my class use technology on a regular basis to supplement their learning. Whether they are working on i-Ready, IXL, ReflexMath, or Gizmos, technology is constantly being used to practice and reinforce math skills that will help them learn and succeed. In our classroom, we have the desktops and laptops that we need - but we are missing headphones! We need this crucial piece of equipment so that students can work individually without disrupting the learning that is going on in other areas of the classroom.

Technology is interwoven into the classroom for my students on a daily basis through the use of supplemental educational programs and STEM projects that they work on throughout the year.

Much of their work is completed in class, and they need to use headphones in order to complete their work. Sometimes, students are assigned work to complete at home. While this is possible for many students, some do not have the equipment they need. In order to help accommodate my students, they are allowed to come before and after school in order to work on assignments. It would be wonderful to be able to offer them everything they need!
