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

When I think about my 5th-grade students, the first words that come to mind are thoughtful, energetic, worthy, eager to learn, and curious. Most of these characteristics come with the territory of being a kid, but others are due to their everyday culture. Every day we work, as educators, to give our students all the necessary tools to succeed through their education and their future. We do this through engaging activities and exercises.

It is important for kids to have ownership of something that leads them to success, something they look forward to, and something that provides them with the ability to meet their goals.

In order for our students to experience real-world situations and be able to benefit from daily lessons, they require tools to learn. With your help, I can take our kids from where they are and give them the necessary tools to plan goals and work to reach them. Throughout the school year, our students become more aware of real-life mathematical situations and how to use math every day.

My campus is within a community that was devastated by Harvey. I still have students who’s homes are being rebuilt or torn down. Supplies are to replenish.

My Project

Every day, my students use resources through the web to gather data, introduce topics, and become immersed in Mathematical content. By providing an iPad and stylus, in my classroom, I as a teacher will be able to display virtual tours of famous cultures from around the world.

With help my students can reach out to other classroom communities and learn about the World and it's many diversities.

An iPad would also bring responsibility to my classroom by allowing a student to lead a lesson through Nearpod, Kahoot, and other favorites websites. My students enjoy using technology to learn their content through engaging activities and interactive lessons.
