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

I have 41 inquisitive fourth grade gifted students in my classroom. They are full of curiosity, energy, and love to learn.

My students come with diverse backgrounds, but ultimately they all share a love learning about the world around them!

My goal is to keep that love for learning and inquisitive fire in them by providing them a classroom environment that promotes learning through hands-on experiments, real-world problem solving, and incorporating technology to create active life long learners. Ultimately, I want to prepare students for the real world and encourage individual learning and self growth.

My Project

The interactive science models of the The Solar System and the Human Body will provide my students with a concrete resource to help better understand scientific abstract concepts. They are already self motivated students who love learning and this opportunity will give them a better understanding of the concepts and keep them engaged.

Technology plays such an important role in our life today.

Two tablets will allow and motivate my students to complete district assigned lessons and keep data for our Science labs at the palm of our hands. We will be able to print charts and graphs in color with the ink cartridges provided.
