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 Project

"Never be limited by other people's limited imaginations." ~Dr. Mae Jemison

Everyday I aim to challenge my students and keep them actively engaged in every single lesson.

My students consist of a diverse population ranging from on-grade level up to 2-3 years above grade level. The magnitude of abilities is endless in my classroom and my students need to be constantly challenged every minute of the day. My students come to school everyday eager to learn with a bright smile on their face. They are always asking questions and want to know how and why. They love to create and use technology to learn.

I do not have any electronic devices in my classroom, so I am requesting 3 laptops to provide my students with the ability to access interactive and engaging learning platforms and have the ability to conduct their own research. My ultimate goal is to obtain a 1:1 technology classroom. This goal will enable students to directly interact with the lessons in a fun and engaging manner.

Students will be able to navigate to different countries, livestream with other students, engage in fun activities, research topics of choice, and just simply provide choices for students to make about their own learning.

The high demand for technology in the classroom is given to students in the older grades. Helping young students like my first graders learn how to safely utilize technology to help them learn, will enabling these youngsters to expand their own curiosity.
