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

The students in my class will be able to develop their problem solving skills through weekly based projects that focus on a given math or science question. I will be able to engage my English Language Learners in groups activities that promote problem solving, language, social, independence, and academic skills that they may shy away from in a regular academic lesson. These STEM based activities will promote creativity, engagement, challenging and yet rewarding situations that can enhance their learning. These hands-on activities will allow them to learn more about themselves that the world around them.
