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 a diverse group of inner city children. They are overflowing with talent and intelligence that can change their communities and the world. Helping them understand this is crucial to their survival and that of their communities. This year, I aim to help them discover that as they get involved within our classroom.

When the bell rings at 9:10, my students rambunctiously file into class.

They are filled with a vast amount of energy, yet they come in with an effort to make sure that class flows well. They strive to ensure that they learn as much as they can for the year. They try their best to not let the problems of life get the best of them. For example, some of my students have a harsh home life. But their spirit is so strong and high, they enter the room and they give their best to succeed. Even the ones that may come in to the classroom with low spirits or just not motivated to be in class that day. I watch as these students bravely pull themselves out of depression and doubt, and they lose themselves in the learning taking place in class.

My Project

The world of today is not the same as the world of yesterday. The connection that we establish with those around us is heavily driven by technology. The way we learn and access information is also heavily dependent on technology. That is why I aim to foster my students' research and application skills in our technologically-advanced society.

In my 8th grade Language Arts classroom, my students love using cellphones, computers, and tablets.

That is pretty much the case with many adolescent students of today. These devices really engage them in their learning process. That is why I am requesting a donation of 6 laptops and 2 Amazon Fre tablets. Students will be able to use these to conduct independent research projects. They will have access to more vibrant learning opportunities as they are able to explore the world that they cannot physically explore because they live in the inner city. Our school struggles with funding, and many students do not have the luxury of learning by using technology at home. Also, many of my students come from financially struggling families. They cannot experience or travel the world as students from well to do families. Once this project is funded, my students will be able to explore and learn about the environment around them when they come into my class. They will take learning into their own hands and mold their own futures.
