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 a large, Title I school, with a diverse student population, serving high numbers of economically disadvantaged children. We educate over 1200 kids from pre-k to 5th grade. Resources are limited, particularly with technology, as most classrooms do not have their own computer resources. I teach fourth graders in a dual language program (Spanish-English), designed to teach kids fluency in both languages.

My students are curious by nature.

They explore, question, and wonder, and by doing so, learn. They are drawn to new things, and they want to learn more about themselves. And while researching, they are discovering. This inspires my students to become innovative, independent learners.

My Project

I am requesting Chromebooks to create a Research Center within my classroom. My students will use the Research Center during their free time and during social studies lessons, to further explore topics discussed in class, and to develop presentations with Power Point. Research skills are a very effective tool in the attainment of information, in social studies, and have always been a valuable teaching method for me, as my students become more independent and technology savvy. With this technology, I will able to use the Chromebooks during social studies lessons, to reinforce information and instruct them how to develop their own presentations. It will make complex concepts more accessible and enjoyable. Attaching images to lessons will also help the students to stay focused and retain information, which will help my students to enhance their skills in social studies and global issues. Additionally, the Research Center will allow me to teach my kids how to access on-line resources, designed to enhance learning, that they could use at home or at the library. These resources will allow the children to do their own research and offer them extra practice outside of school.

For many of my students, their only exposure to technology is at school.

Their faces light up when they have the opportunity to independently learn and create their own materials.

This enhancement will help my students to develop research skills, which will arm them with the necessary skills for advanced learning.
