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 a group of hardworking, energetic and appreciative children. They love to laugh and have fun while learning. Most of the students in the class are ELLs (English Language Learners) who have been in the country for 2 -3 years or are actually new to this country. My class is comprised of many types of learners, including students with IEPS.

My students face many challenges,such as economic, emotional and academic hardships, yet they still come to school with a thirst for knowledge.

My Project

My group of diverse students learn in many different ways. Currently in my classroom we have very limited use of technology and what we do have is outdated. Most students do not have access to technology outside of the classroom. In the past few years, I have realized that this is a huge obstacle in educating them in the 21st century. There are many apps and educational websites that students can use to not only enhance their learning, but help them to be prepared for a world that is dominated by technology.

In todays tech driven world it is important for children to be comfortable, knowledgable and safe while using technology.

I would love to be able to give my students 5 Amazon Fire Tablets. They can be used as ESL and math workstations and also as a means to help students become familiar with the English Language by using different educational learning tools.
