Celebrating 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 from Washington, DC are part of a Dual Language program which prepares leaders in the quest for social justice. This program gives children from all cultures, abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds an opportunity to learn and thrive beyond the classroom. My energetic 7th graders enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.
We are constantly working as a community to draw parallels between the past and present in order to promote equity in contemporary society.
My Project
The use of a projector and whiteboard is a daily activity in my classroom, especially when it comes to language acquisition. In my Dual Language Social Studies class, having access to a drawing board is a necessity. Whether I am modeling how to annotate texts, circling cognates, or drawing quick sketches to explain ancient history - these scaffolds facilitate learning by developing critical reading skills and clarifying difficult concepts.
Throughout my virtual teaching experience, I have encountered many obstacles, but one constant is the struggle to bring words and history to life.
Having access to an iPad and Apple Pencil will reduce this problem for at least 187 students.
As I prepare for the new virtual school year, it is my hope that acquiring the items on this DonorsChoose page will aid language acquisition through visual supports and modeling the annotation of texts.
