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

The students at our school are eager learners looking to find a safe and secure place to learn. Many of our students are from immigrant families from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and other countries that are faced with many challenges. Our school provides a home for a diverse and cultural community.

Our school is a Title I school in which our students a come from diverse backgrounds such as very low income families at many times below the poverty line.

Ninety percent of our students are on free or reduced price lunch. Our school is located in the heart of one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods where many parents do not even speak English. Within my classroom I also have several students that are English Language Learners as well as special needs students with a variety of issues such as ADHD and learning disabilities. These conditions at times make it difficult for students to learn and can benefit from any aid or assistance that they can get to help them to succeed.

My Project

My students are learning about a variety of environmental science topics from our outdated textbooks. These students are required to write research based essay using a variety of reliable sources to support their opinions and topics. Unfortunately, with outdated information students are not able to complete a research paper accurately.

With a new laptop, students will be able to research up to date scientific sources in order to complete their environmental science research papers.

Students will be able to use the internet to look up information that is current and will help to support their arguments. Students will be able to have hands-on experiences with different websites that will provide them with scholarly articles and videos that has important information about the environmental science advancements. This can help my students complete their Earth Day projects using advanced technology that can help them to find current and accurate information. With this wide variety of information available, students will be able to write research papers that are of a higher quality.
