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

My students come from low income families. We strive for aca­d­e­mic suc­cess and active com­mu­nity par­tic­i­pa­tion.

The words that describe students in my classrooms: delightful, energetic, and optimistic.

Our school is located in an area fraught with poverty and aca­d­e­m­i­cally strug­gling stu­dents. As a school, we seek to close the achieve­ment gap for these students by pro­vid­ing clear and high expec­ta­tions for all stu­dents, a per­son­al­ized and sup­port­ive learn­ing envi­ron­ment that rec­og­nizes stu­dents’ accom­plish­ments, family-school-community part­ner­ships and ser­vice, and cul­tur­ally enriched curriculum.

My Project

In science class, we need thermometers to learn about temperature. In addition, science would be even more fun for my students if they could learn about weather concepts and make snow with the speedy snow kit. The bacteria growing kit would be a great experiment in order for students to understand that all living things have cells including bacteria.

Help me bring hands-on learning to the students in my classroom.

Finally, in math class, my students need the geometric foldables o help them understand surface area. Student have have been struggling with being able to visualize 3-D figures, as well as, the concept of surface area.
