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

My school is an elementary school located in the Morrisania section of the Bronx, New York and we serve an average of 600 students in grades K-5 and now about to have Pre-K. My students strive to be the best they could while fighting poverty and diversity. They are also starting to learn about computers and the opportunities that can come from this area.

This year we are apart of a New Computer Science program.

My students love to come to the library and computer Lab where they can have their media/tech classes. These students are always looking forward to learn something new about computers or even to learn the computer's basic functions. Many times my students and I get lost when we are creating a PowerPoint presentation or using Paint to create a masterpiece for their poem, their homeroom teacher comes in the room and waiting for us to finish and we didn't noticed them standing there. My students loves to spend time creating and learning new things.

My Project

The books I have chosen for my student to use and share within my classroom will help them understand concepts such as how to be a good digital citizen, in orders words; how not to fall into the world of becoming a cyberbully and how to use the internet properly. Other books are meant to bring some smiles, laughter and help explain technology in a different ways. I hope these books will expand their minds and step outside the box to become more creative with the technologies around them and maybe plant a seed of different types of careers that surround the technology world.
