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.

I teach an energetic group of 23 second graders in the Bronx, New York. My students come from low income families and have many limitations. I teach them Literacy by using the Balanced Literacy Model. To teach my children Shared Reading, and Shared Writing, I have to model with specific examples, which at times are hard to come by. To learn, my students need to view and appreciate things first hand and this is hard to attain when materials are scarce to none, photocopying is not available, and color copies are impossible.

How can I conduct a Shared Reading lesson or a read aloud when we have 1 copy of a book? How can my students appreciate a read aloud when the book has very small print and the illustrations are not big enough for 23 children to see? It is very hard, and this leads the children to being fidgety, losing focus and motivation due to the lack of visual stimulation. With this lack of resources, my students are missing out on a learning moment that could benefit them for a life time!

To help my students, we urgently need a document camera. With a document camera my children will appreciate read alouds by traveling to the stories' world using their imagination, enhanced by the visuals provided. With the document camera, my children will participate in fun, motivating Shared Reading activities and will engage in the wonders produced by Interactive and Shared Writing. With a document camera, my students can share their own writing to their peers and grow as writers. Thus creating a whole new generation of motivating readers and writers that can inspire future generations.

You can make it possible for my students by donating a document camera that will enhance their daily learning through motivating images. With the donation of a document camera, my students will appreciate print, images, and illustration as they are on the books that we read everyday. With a document camera, my students will not have to look at photocopied images in black and white and they will be able to see things as their are.
