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 am a first year special education teacher in a title one school in the Bronx. All of the students in my school are eligible for free lunch. Unfortunately, my students are faced with challenges that most children do not have to face. The majority of my students are brand new to the country and unfamiliar with the language, customs and traditions of America. It takes a long time before they settle down and start to feel comfortable. This is a huge challenge which can impact their learning. My goal is to help them succeed not only in my classroom but in life. I have a wonderful group of students who try very hard and are now very eager to learn.

My Project

My class is in need of Ipads. Technology is a huge part of today's classroom across America and all over the world. Being a special education teacher and teaching students with IEP's can be challenging at times, especially when my students lose focus quickly.

Ipads would be put to great use in my classroom and would be used daily.

I teach in a title one school and unfortunately the majority of my students do not have a computer, tablet or ipad at home. I would love to help them build their technology, literacy and math skills through the use of Ipads. Having ipads in my classroom would mean that my wonderful students can practice the various skills needed to succeed in Kindergarten. They would make learning fun and keep my students engaged.
