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.

Biology and Marine Science are difficult subjects to teach to urban students who do not see the relevance of the topics in their lives. Many of the students in our school are itching to be creative and the teachers in our department have found that class projects and presentations are the way to go. Unfortunately, art supplies are now running very low as 6 different science teachers are all pulling from the same limited supply.

As the year progresses there are many opportunities to be creative in the classroom, such as poster presentations on the different types of marine environments, the topology of the ocean floor, the cell as a city or my personal favorite, most wanted posters for different human pathogens. All we require is the supplies. Working in groups to complete these activities, helps the students to build cooperation skills and with each project the students become more comfortable speaking in front a group. These projects seem to be the best way for us to get our students to be excited about coming to science class AND actually learn the material at the same time. PLEASE help us to keep this excitement alive.

In order to allow the students to be as creative as they can we need the most basic of supplies: poster boards, construction paper, glue, and scissors.

With your help we can creative a learning environment that is both educational and creative. Your donation can help to make the learning process for our students be that much more meaningful.... and fun.
