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 is going to be a great new year for my kindergarten students. They will learn their ABC's, numbers, how to read and write, and how to make new friends. 75% of the students at my school qualify for free/reduced lunch. Every student also qualifies for free breakfast every day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we need to make sure every student has eaten breakfast and are ready to learn. My school is full of great students, parents, teachers, staff, and administration. We work together to make sure each child is getting the best education they can!

My Project

Technology is booming right now,and it is important to start kindergarten off right by using iPads for learning in the classroom. Using the iPad will improve their lives when learning about letters, sounds, numbers, adding and subtracting, and writing as well. The students can listen to stories on the iPad and be interactive by using special apps to help them with the skill they need to learn. Having an iPad in the classroom will be used during center time, and also in small groups. I can use in small groups when teaching a certain concept or it can be used with a partner in a center as well.
