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 at the age of realizing their potential and capabilities for their future. Their minds are always thinking and curious with ideas. They have so many questions every day about the why, how, or what ifs.

They have so much energy and enthusiasm for learning even after Hurricane Harvey.

While a year has passed some of my students are still recovering from the natural disaster. They still manage to be at school and are ready to go forward.

In my classroom we are always learning in different styles whether it is through cooperative groups, paired partners, hands-on labs, or differentiated projects. I love what I do and my students know it.

My Project

Searching and researching are key components to any child's education. I am so excited to have this opportunity to bring learning into the hands of my students. The Kindle Fires, cases, and charging station would be used to help my students with looking up information regarding a science concept or the ability to engage in a deeper question about science they might have generated. These would give students the capability to complete activities in the classroom using programs such as Stemscopes and BrainPOP. At the same time, this would engage my students' thinking skills while I pose thought-provoking questions to them about what they are learning. Many students are still displaced and are still financially rebuilding from Hurricane Harvey, so technology access to complete assignments are limited. Having the Kindle Fires would give my students access to research right in the classroom for any class project such as a science play, creating an ecosystem, a quick science lab, or dissecting resources. My school is a big proponent of incorporating reading, writing, and collaboration in all content areas. My students would be able to read a science article from the Kindle Fire, write questions about it in their interactive notebook and talk with their peers allowing me to facilitate and guide my students through their inquiry.
