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

As a teacher with a background in Special Education, I believe in creating a classroom environment designed to meet the needs of all students. This ranges from utilizing sensory-friendly classroom modifications such as fluorescent light filters and essential oil diffusers to designing lessons which embrace the creative and insightful mind of my students.

My second graders are highly intelligent and empathetic, and it is my job, as an educator, to provide them with learning experiences which promote not only academic growth but positive social growth as well.

My students are learning at a school which educates them in Mandarin, celebrates an annual Ability Awareness which teaches awareness and acceptance of people from all ability levels, and promotes collaborative group work to complete ELA and STEM lessons.

My Project

Many of my students are interested in STEM careers, while others are interested in reading and writing. I hope to bridge the two passions and show my class that they do not need to pick one! The hands-on STEM kits and books will be part of stations students visit to learn about STEM careers, while also learning how to maintain collaborative discussions and answer text-dependent questions.

Having the opportunity to explore, build, collaborate on, and test materials, in addition to reading about STEM careers, will open up a whole new world of possibilities for my students!

At the "Survive the Quake" engineering station, as well as watching a video found on Mystery Doug, students will be learning about careers in seismology and structural engineering.

The "Famous Inventors" station, will pair perfectly with our ELA unit on "Where do Inventions Come From?"

The Tangram activities will allow students to critically think about how shapes can be used to create new polygons, as well as be fractioned off to form smaller segments.

The books will be part of our classroom library and may be read at any time​ throughout the year. Students should not be limited in the content for which they explore based on the academic block for the day. My classroom is designed to teach all learners, at all levels, for all subjects.
