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 energy that they portray is inspiring. Despite all the challenges that they face day to day, they are in class ready to learn and willing to work to improve their condition. They talk about learning English fast to be able to get into college and become successful professionals.

In some of my classes, there is a big gap between the great variety of students.

Many of them have to work in the afternoons or even at night. Aside from the language, culture, and activities; many of my students are under schooled, but this does not take away their enthusiasm for learning.

My Project

The materials for this project are thought to help the students have the same materials to perform labs and other activities that will enhance and facilitate their learning of science concepts.

The students will have equal access to materials for modeling, drawing diagrams, microscope imagery, experimenting, and engineering.

These materials include a microscope camera so I can share with my student's images of the microscopic world while they are in distance learning. Also, there are balloons, ropes, and slinkies that will allow them to explore physics in a hands-on way. They will also have materials for constructing models like a cell.
