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 Project

I am proud to teach at an inner-city school in Houston, Texas which supports mostly Latino, Black, and refugees from various countries. My school is almost totally English language learners who struggle to learn to read, write, and speak the English language.

We are still playing catch up from the impact of the Corona Virus.

Most of my students are from low-income families that are willing to do whatever they can to help with their children's education, but that is not always enough. Being able to have hands on materials for science will go a long way in helping to make learning fun.

The children are hardworking and thirst for knowledge. It is imperative now that we are back to in person learning that we begin to bridge the gaps that were created over the last year and a half.

This upcoming school year will be a huge challenge for me as well as the students. I will have several English language learners who are just beginning to gain the ability to read and write in English. Academic vocabulary in Science will be a challenge for my students, but completing hands on activities will make it easier to comprehend and remember.

There's no better way to learn science than with hands on.

The activity labs will allow the students to experience science first hand as they work through each activity. The teacher resource books will allow me to create numerous independent practice assignments for the students to complete at their desks.
