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

Why do some students succeed and others don't?

One possible reason is access to tools.

At our school our students are the most loving, eccentric, and energetic students you will ever meet. They have stories that will amaze you! They have the uncanny ability to navigate apps and coding. We have 92 students in the fifth grade. Our students have a diverse level of learning styles and needs but they are guaranteed to make deposits in the lives of the people they touch.

My Project

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is a fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil, and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By having interactive tablets equipped with applications, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will help to improve and increase student attention and focus. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
