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 at a low-income school in Homestead, Florida. My classroom is multicultural. Many of my students face many challenges on a daily basis. Most of my students come from homes where English is not their primary language. Others lack the basic needs that children need in order to succeed in school.

My third graders are invincible!

Even though there are many factors that can keep them from being successful, they come to school ready to fight the everyday struggles of life. They are brave and strong!

My Project

I would like to engage all learners as they practice reading skills. The iPads would give my students the opportunity to use reading and language arts apps to make learning fun!

The iPads would help engage and motivate my students in the learning process.

My students would use the iPads to respond to literacy by creating short videos (FlipGrids) and compete in literacy games with each other. The iPads would allow my students to use technology to learn in a fun and creative way. My students would also be able to collaborate on projects even through social distancing.
