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 are great students who are eager to learn. My students are predominantly from low-income, inner-city, minority, first-generation Latin-American families. The majority of my students are English Language Learners and receive free/reduced lunch. My students come from diverse backgrounds with different obstacles either at home or in the community. Our school is a Title I school located in the area of South Los Angeles.

Disregarding all the obstacles my students face, they come to school every day ready to learn.

My Project

My project will provide needed supplies and opportunities for children in our school and show them that science and math is everywhere around them. My students need an laptop computer to assist them with this "Science Environmental" project. I want my students to be able to learn about the science through hands-on experiences. The students will use this at home to create this project. I want my students to have these experiences and love learning. I will use sustainable energy themed units with our science programs. I teach a wonderful group of students!

Unfortunately, our school is located in a low income area with 100 percent of the students receiving free or reduced lunch.

Electricity is an integral part of our daily lives, but many energy sources are damaging the environment. I plan to have my students read about innovations in alternative energy sources, they will work in groups to design and build a model of a system to generate energy. Each group will then present their design to the class. Next, the students will create an alternative energy design at home with their family and keep data on energy used at home with their family and keep data on energy used at home and ways to conserve energy. The instructional activity finishes with everyone discussing the importance of renewable energy resources and what they did at home with their family to conserve energy. In order to carry out this unit my students need a computer to research various energy sources and how they might design a system to sustain energy.
