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

Walking into our school, you will find a diverse group of kids. Many of my students are English language learners, which means they are learning how to read, write, and speak English.

Our classroom is in an urban environment, filled with kids from all walks of life.

We are a Title I school, and our whole school gets free breakfast and lunch. I have a few students with troubled homes, which makes me work harder to create an environment where every child feels safe and able to learn the skills necessary to be ready for middle school and beyond.

My Project

Due to the pandemic, our students must learn from home. Students were given a school issued Chromebook, but no mouse. I have found my students are struggling to use engaging technology programs, such as Nearpod and Google Slides, using the trackpad on the Chromebook.

Little hands struggle to have the fine motor skills to hold down corners while they move their hand around on the pad.

Students need a mouse, which is much easier to control and manipulate. Having a mouse, that each student can use with their Chromebook, will make it easier for my students to have success when participating with distance education.
