Air Conditioning Explorers

My students need an air conditioning unit as I have had 3 students collapse in my classroom last year because of the excessive heat and a current, old, rapidly malfunctioning unit.

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

Inquiry...Questions and Freedom of Expression are just a few of the things I try to incorporate into my classroom. I have the privilege everyday of watching my scholars Question, Design, Test and Present their research. I also see the growth and confidence they develop as they prepare go on to high school.

"Don't let your circumstances determine who you become" is one of the many inspirational quotes I use with my scholars as many of them face an insurmountable number of challenges in their personal lives, but yet they are present and ready to learn.

My Project

We've all heard the phrase "Heat Rises". My students will utilize this air conditioning resource on a daily basis. My classroom has been located on the 4th floor with a malfunctioning air conditioning unit for the past three years. Students have fainted because of the rising heat levels and I myself often finds it difficult to instruct my scholars during periods of excessive heat.

Having a new AC will provide my students with a safe and productive environment to explore their multifaceted levels of inquiry and will also provide me with peace of mind of knowing that my students have somewhere safe to explore their curiosity.
