Celebrating 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.
Most of our students live in apartment buildings and have never even planted a seed to watch it grow into a plant. Many of our students have limited English and need real world, hands on experiences to help them make connections to science and develop vocabulary.
More than half of our students receive free or reduced lunches.
Many are from immigrant families. Most are from families where poverty spans generations. They are eager to learn and achieve, but get little experience outside the classroom beyond television and video games.
My Project
This school year, we will involve students with the planning, measuring, designing and planting of a science garden and outdoor classroom. Students will put math principles to real life use and see science in action. The books that I have requested will help us shape the garden and plan lessons where math, science, and language learning will be maximized through student interaction in the garden.
Students will begin to see the real world value of math and science when they can apply what they have learned in the classroom to solve challenges they face in the garden.
This project will go beyond pencil and paper to enhance math and science instruction. It will enhance language acquisition by offering students a whole new world of vocabulary for experiences in the natural world and a chance to share those experiences through conversation and writing.
