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

Following my first year of teaching, I realized: I was not fully prepared. As such, I've included items that I realized very early on were essential in my science classroom that I did not have prepared. My first year was INSANE: new experiences, plenty of mistakes, but AMAZING students. Some of which, did not have consistent access to technology or wifi. In an age of digital instruction, how do I create lessons and resources that are easily accessible by all?

The Plan: Interactive Science Notebooks where students can store all their notes, ideas, experiments, and yes- "I'm not paying attention" doodles, all in one place!

So what goes into interactive notebooks? Well... notebooks! Let's add some colorful markers, pencils, stickers, glue sticks, and tape into the mix! And for those rumbling stomachs that will definitely use the excuse: "Im too hungry to work"? Fruit snacks and cookies to save the day!

And for the science classroom? For the messy labs like blood splatter, dissecting worms, and playing with milk? White board markers, anchor chart paper, disinfecting wipes, and paper towels.

All of these materials, I hope, will create a science class experience unlike any other my students may have had.
