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 a heterogeneous grouping of 85 students of mixed coming from a variety of language backgrounds including general, gifted, special need,s and ESL students. The 7th Life Science class has an ethnic composition of twenty-two Hispanic students (74%), eight White students (26%), ten students (33%) are English Language Learners and twelve (40%) are Special Education Students with Learning Exceptionalities.

I am working in a Title I School, where our policy is to ensure that all students have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

My Project

In the STEM classroom setting, my primary purpose is to create a space where students explore inquiry-based learning in a fun and innovative way by establishing a foundation for scientific thinking and ideas. I will give my students opportunities to research, problem-solve, and collaborate with peers as they persevere through challenging tasks. When they engage in critical thinking skills and develop skills that are necessary both within and outside the school setting. This type of work doesn’t easily transfer online. Still, it’s my goal to provide my students with the best access to STEM activities through learning experiences, intentional instruction, and presentations. For these reasons, I was able to team with NASA STEM Engagement, to deliver tools for my students to learn and succeed. My goal is to create digital students as innovators. My students will be able to be involved in critical thinking, reasoning, teamwork, investigation, creative and work on different digital platforms. STEM NASA activities, Programing, Coding Drones will also give me the opportunity to engage my students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
