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

I am a new high school teacher. It is actually my first year of teaching. I am a New York City Teaching Fellow and I cannot be more excited as I am now. I teach Chemistry and STEAM. My STEAM students are very excited about building many things from robots to airplanes.

My students have never been exposed to designing, building and the use of the engineering process.

As a teacher, I am trying to build confidence and rigor in them and I am trying to make them believe in themselves; they can be the next somebody and they can accomplish and achieve anything they want. My students like to try different ideas and build different projects all the time.

My Project

I make a lot of copies and I give a lot of homework to support the students` learning. I need copy paper. I ran out of copy paper and I will not have another box till the next semester. I really need copy paper and supplies to support my chemistry and STEAM (STEM) classes of 135 students.

I make copies of the Do Now, Exit Ticket, Classwork and Homework.

My students are consistently working and actively engaged. I use about a ream of paper a day between Health, STEAM and Chemistry classes. Every student uses The Scientist Practice. It is a packet of at least 3 sheets of paper back to back a day.

I use markers as well since I do not have a Smart board. I use colored markers to model all the chemicals and diagrams. I use them to illustrate protons, electrons, neutrons and on. Chemistry can very interesting using colors on the board. Colors help my visual learners.
