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 love science. They want to explore, investigate, experiment and invent, but they lack the financial resources at home and at school that provides beyond the basics.

Experiences, motivation, knowledge, and resources are very important for my students to break the cycle of poverty that is in their community.

My students and their families want them to do well in school, they just need opportunities. Help my students become future biologists, geologists, engineers, agriculturalists or whatever careers that interest them.

My diverse students are multilingual--English, Spanish, Mam, Qanjobal--and most come from working-class families. Many live with single parents, guardians, grandparents or in multi-household families. Regardless of their situation, their families say they want their kids to do better than they did.

My Project

The forested environment that surrounds our school provides habitats for diverse native animal species. Big animal sightings during the school day aren’t common, but finger puppets of these animals can give my students an opportunity to learn life science and develop their writing and speaking skills.

As part of our biodiversity unit, students will take the role of screenwriters to write short plays about animals and use finger puppets to perform plays.

This will give them practice with their written and oral language skills—including vocabulary and grammar.

Animal finger puppets, such as beavers, frogs, rabbits and possums, will help students write dialogues to create short performances. The dialogue will be written from the point of view of the animal and will include both facts and opinions about their habitats.
