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.
My classroom is a place where curiosity is cultivated and creativity is fostered. I strive to make all lessons interesting and engaging so students become more curious about the world and crave even more knowledge. The world's greatest inventions and advancements all started with curiosity!
My students are sponges that are eager to absorb more knowledge.
For the majority of my students, science is their favorite subject because it is intriguing and filled with opportunities for hands-on learning such as labs, experiments, and so forth.
Our school is a Title I school that is in an at-risk and low-income neighborhood. My students come from diverse backgrounds; the majority are Hispanic or African American. A little less than half of my students are limited language proficient and exceptional education students. Many come from single parent households or families that are in transition.
We work very hard to overcome all of these challenges. My students have the exact same eagerness to learn science as their peers in more affluent schools. Unfortunately, the school's resources and technology are very limited. The resources and technology the school does have are either very outdated (think 1975!) or not functioning. My students have the enthusiasm and will; we need the way!
My Project
We are an AVID school (Advancement Via Individual Determination). Our AVID school fosters college readiness along with study skills, note-taking techniques, and organizational skills. All students are required to maintain a 3-ring binder; materials for every class are kept in this binder. I am requesting an electric stapler with staples, an electric hole punch, and an electric pencil sharpener. The materials I am requesting will enable my students to cultivate the organizational AVID strategies and techniques without sacrificing valuable learning time.
On average, 5-10 minutes of daily classroom time is spent hole punching and stapling papers in order for students to place the papers in their binder--up to 25-50 minutes a week.
Given the fact my classes only last 46 minutes each, 25-50 minutes a week is a lot of time wasted! The materials I am requesting will help minimize time spent on hole punching, stapling, and pencil sharpening, which will enable me to better spend the lost instructional time on actually TEACHING and students LEARNING!
