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

Traditional resources in the 21st Century are just not enough to spark students' interest in learning. "Great teachers show their students how to move mountains for themselves." I want to open the minds of my students and empower them to reach their ultimate goals in the fields of math and science.

Most of my students are Hispanic.

Living in South Florida, they have the privilege of being exposed to many different cultures. The majority of my students come from a low socioeconomic status; therefore, many of my students don't have access to technology or other types of resources.

My Project

This year I want students to have a chance to experience creativity and inquiry in the classroom. I want them to see that what they are learning extends beyond our classroom walls, and I want them to apply their learning to real life situations. The science learning centers allow students to work at their own pace to identify parts of an insect, sequence the water cycle, explore the solar system, analyze animal adaptations, compare states of matter, categorize simple machines, and classify animal groups. Having more hands-on center based activities will allow for more actual time interacting with materials and each other instead of direct teacher instruction. I envision my students using Power Pens and Power Pen Learning Cards to help them improve their math skills.

Donations for this project will allow my students the opportunity to use resources on a daily basis in the classroom.

These materials will engage them daily. We are so excited and can not wait to get this project funded.
