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

We call our classroom the Robot Studio. My students are all emerging bilinguals with an insatiable appetite for learning and creative projects. We are engineers, mathematicians, researchers, readers, writers, and creative artists who LOVE hands-on learning and snuggling up with a good book.

Too many of my students have no books at home and very few--if any--educational toys.

It is essential that our classroom be a resource-rich repository of educational resources.

Our goal in the 2016-2017 school year is to establish a robust classroom library that inspires each and every student to fall in love with reading, and well-stocked centers to help students build STEM skills and interest. We deeply value resources that empower us to become enthusiastic and skilled readers!

My Project

Hands-on learning is undeniably more engaging and effective. Students who have the opportunity to participate in their own experiments ask big questions and more often than not discover their own answers. This school year, I intend to incorporate myriad hands-on projects across the curriculum. Specifically, we will engage in numerous science experiments that will help us learn how to make claims and substantiate those claims with not only text evidence but also with data that we collect through our own experimentation. Unfortunately, resources for such projects can get expensive, especially when it's all coming out of my pocket!

Dissecting owl pellets is an engaging and super memorable experience.

Students will first engage in an interactive read aloud of the book White Owl, Barn Owl and begin developing their own ideas of what owls eat. We will then dissect actual Barn Owl pellets and use a bone chart to categorize our findings. We will create a tally chart and then a frequency table to display our data. Finally, students will write an informational report that answers the question "What do owls eat?" Students will make a claim and substantiate that claim by pointing to data we collected and to text evidence gathered through independent research and whole class read alouds.
