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 students are resilient, loving, and eager to learn. Everyday they walk through the door putting their best foot forward, but circumstances often hold them back.

Coming from a low socio-economic area in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood does not stop them from trying their hardest to be the best they can be!

We are a Title I school, where over 98% of the students receive free or reduced lunch. Many of their families struggle with technology and lack access to assistance at home.

These students have overcome challenges that are hard to imagine, yet they do it everyday with smiles on their faces. They deserve equitable access to technology and information during distance learning, so that they can have equitable access to success!

My Project

Due to Covid-19 we have had to move to distance learning and our families are struggling with adapting to the necessary technology. A large percentage of our parents struggle with technology and additionally many of them do not speak English.

With this iPad, tri-pod, and microphone we can record quality information videos and tutorials for students and their families.

Additionally, we will be using this equipment to recording our daily announcements with important daily updates.

This equipment will be used by our administrators, academic coaches, media specialist, teachers, community involvement specialist, and additional support staff to relay vital information to the community!

Ms. Baez Jesse J McCrary Elementary School Grades 3-5
