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

The students I work with attend a Title One middle school. Each student has a unique personality and enjoy learning. I work with a large population of Hispanic students who are learning English and students with disabilities. All the students rise to any challenge given to them even if they lack the supplies to do so.

The students I work with are sponges who soak up all the knowledge given to them.

They are consistently questioning why and how. The English Language Learning students always speak to me in English because they want to improve and assimilate with their peers.

My Project

The educational system strives to provide for our students, but it still requires a little push in the right direction. As a teacher I continue to evolve my practice by creating an environment of learning through the use of all tools that are available to me. The main tool I would like to use with my students is our classroom Chromebooks. Unfortunately, we do not have headphones.

Headphones can help my students navigate videos and websites on their own.

Using headphones will allow my students the opportunity to work on independent learning goals in the class room without disturbing other students. Not all students learn at the same pace. I remember the hardest part about going to school is the feeling of being behind.
