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

Challenging eager learners through STEM! Our school is filled with energetic, Title I learners. As a math teacher, I would like to turn my students into lifelong learners through STEM. My students learn through discovery and self-exploration.

Our students are eager learners who enjoy challenging lessons in STEM and the arts.

We proudly provide our scholars with a strong academic program that includes project-based learning, use of technology in the classroom, digital learning, various reading incentive programs, and learning platforms tailored to each student's academic needs and aspirations.

My Project

Our students will enjoy this project-based lesson in Life Cycles. We are going to explore the stages of a butterfly's life cycle. Our class will begin by sketching the life cycle of a monarch butterfly. Students will engage their creative sides by modeling the caterpillars, chrysalises, and butterflies in clay. We will further engage our students understanding by allowing them to realistically paint each item.

Our life science project-based lesson will engage our students on multiple academic levels including creating, collaborating with others and self-awareness in our community.

This will help the students to impact our ecosystem in Houston surrounding the bayous.
