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

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Albert Einstein This is one of my favorite quotes because it keeps my teaching on check. It helps me reflect on the idea that if something didn't work the first time, it's time to try something different!

My students are currently second graders, living right in the heart of Los Angeles.

Many of them are recent immigrant families living in a very economically disadvantaged neighborhood. They are all second language learners. Some of these families actually speak indigenous languages. This often presents an even greater challenge because parents cannot provide academic support even in Spanish. The families I work with often have to work two shifts to provide for their families. Some of these families live together to help each other with the rent. They are very loving parents and try to provide for their children the best they can, but it is very difficult earning very low wages from the local downtown garment district. Children have some trouble acquiring the language and therefore need extra support and tutoring when learning English. But when it comes to math and science, they can be amazing! When students get tested for gifted program, this is where their strength comes in!

My Project

As stating previously my students need support when it comes to language arts due to lack of academic support from home. That is why the materials I'm requesting will help support students in acquiring English thought Math and Science. These subjects are naturally intriguing to my students. Using hands on materials will help support their curiosity in science and math. Reading materials and microscopes will give my students the opportunity to explore future careers in the sciences and math.

My students will just love and be amazed with the opportunity to build, create and explore with science materials!

They will get a chance to enjoy learning from subjects they are naturally inclined to learn from as they grow. Science units will be enhanced to help students explore as they work in small groups or in independent centers.
