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 live in a very small town with a population of approximately 2,000 people. We are nestled in the Rocky Mountains and enjoy beautiful views and are surrounded by wildlife. We are hours away from big city life and enjoy life in a simple way.

My students love a challenge, setting goals, and learning how to work together to achieve them.

The students I work with are talented, hardworking, team players, and love learning. I work with a variety of students, including high needs, autistic students learning how to be in the general education setting and students who are gifted in regards to academics. I have students from many socio-economic backgrounds and coming from homes with different family situations.

This range of diverse students and personalities makes our learning environment a great place to grow from one another's experiences and the students all have different experiences they bring to our classroom. My students are incredible at whatever they set their minds to and surprise me every day with how much they accomplish.

My Project

All of my students love hands-on projects. Having opportunities to learn through projects, they can build, manipulate, and use in many different scenarios. They love to use their imagination, building skills and work together in groups where they can practice great dialogue and leadership skills.

The magnet set will help students participate in STEM activities, group work, geometry skills, and critical thinking in groups and individually.

These tiles will not only help for STEM projects where the students can learn by doing, but also can help reinforce geometry concepts that they will learn as standards. It will give students a chance to learn through play and build on what they are familiar with while working with one another no matter what capacity of learner they are.
