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 am a teacher at an inner-city school region with a large, diverse population of students with special needs from low-income families. The students at our school are eager learners looking to find a safe and secure place to learn. Many of our students are from immigrant families from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and other South American countries that are faced with many challenges. Our school provides a home for a diverse and cultural community. Many of our students participate in the Head Start Program.

Our school looks to promote diversity and inclusion in a Title I school in which our students, many of who come through our Head Start program, come from diverse backgrounds such as very low-income families, at many times below the poverty line.

Ninety percent of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches. Our school is located in the heart of one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods where many parents do not speak English. Within my classroom, I also have several students that are English Language Learners as well as special needs students with a variety of challenges such as ADHD and learning disabilities. These students are excited learners looking to face the challenges ahead.

My Project

Our students are struggling to learn how to adapt to an ever-increasing digital world. Our students must be able to understand how to use technology in a variety of ways that will help them keep up with the world we live in today.

Unfortunately, most of our students do not have access to the technology they need in order to be able to keep up.

To help get our students there, they must have updated technology readily available at their fingertips.

My students need a portable keyboard, stylus, and carrying case to be able to take our existing tablet on the go, so they can learn to create multimedia and take notes wherever they are.

By providing students with these tools, we are able to convert our current class tablet into a portable presentation statement that can go anywhere we are. This allows us to take our learning everywhere we are and make the best out of the technology that we currently have! This will help our students move on to the next step of becoming digitally educated citizens!
