Building Vocabulary...with Flocabulary!

My students need access to Flocabulary, a "learning program for all grades that uses educational hip-hop music to engage students and increase achievement across the curriculum." Vocab is challenging- this helps students access difficult words!

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 an exceptional group of 8th graders who come from a very diverse group of neighborhoods around New York City. The majority are from Brooklyn, and many are low-income, as is the bulk of our school.

As students go, this particular group is incredibly inquisitive and thoughtful.

For the first time in my career I will be teaching students for a third year in a row, and I could not be more excited. The excitement they showed as they participated in labs, grappled with the "big questions" of each unit, and the dedication they showed to inquiry-based thinking was inspiring to see. Now that we are together for a third time, I am looking for new ways to engage them in learning and keep their interest level up!

My Project

Science vocabulary is a challenge for all students, but particularly for students where English is their second language. By producing short, engaging videos with catchy lyrics and much repetition, students are exposed to new concepts in a way that allows them access in a way that textbooks cannot.

With the help of your donations, my students will be given a tool that can help them with the most trying part of science: vocabulary.

Without the requisite vocabulary in their subject area, students can't be successful in the class. Additionally, they need each year's vocabulary to build upon the next year, and the next. Flocabulary will help students create a base science vocabulary, allowing them to move forward through more and more challenging courses without getting left behind.

And of course, hearing new words is one thing, but that to learn them students need to write them down and use them repeatedly to ensure their understanding. The additional gel pens that are included in this project will give students an opportunity to record and highlight their new terminology, keeping them engaged and continuing the learning process.
