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 teach fantastic students at a Title I school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We love to learn through hands on activities and authentic experiences in the classroom especially during small group instruction. Our students are in need of essential resources and materials that will benefit them during reading and writing lessons.

Our school is truly a barrier free school, serving all students who come through our doors.

Almost 10% of our students are English language learners and 33% are students with disabilities. Almost half of our students stay in after-school until after 5 PM each day while their parents work.

My Project

My second graders are a curious bunch, and iPads will help my students build technology, literacy and math skills. iPads will be used not only for my students to listen to books and work on word skills, but also for inquiry work and research. Having iPads that are easily accessible to students will encourage accountability for their own learning. With the addition of this up to date technology, we will be able to do research that is related to our current unit and have access to information that will supplement the literature we have in our library.

My students will be able to access apps that reinforce skills and enable higher level learning.

The iPad will become a tool that will help create more authentic learning experiences in the classroom as well as build twenty first century skills that our children need in order to be successful in a quickly evolving technical world. In addition, they will be able to create both independent and collaborative projects in order to show proficiency in understanding of concepts.
