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 students love to participate, learn and experiment. They come from a low-income under-served part of Los Angeles. 93% of my students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school is predominantly Latino, with a smaller population of African American and Filipino students.
My students love to learn by doing.
They make hypotheses and connections, do experiments and report back on the results. They understand the engineering cycle, and they work hard to continuously improve their results.
Most of all, my students are hard workers. They always impress me by how resourceful they are. They know that college and career readiness are their goals, and they are ready to change the odds in the inner city.
My Project
In our classroom, we present a lot. We present different solutions to math problems, we analyze error, and we emphasize speaking skills. Mostly, we present our ideas by putting our work under a document camera. However, in 8th grade, when students come to the front, they are often put in the uncomfortable position of having to present using a desk that is too tall or too short for them.
This adjustable table will allow students to practice presentation skills in a space that is comfortable and is at their own height.
When students are more comfortable, they are more likely to present, and more willing to take feedback on how to make their presentation even better.
With your donation, my students will be able to preset their ideas to the class in a safe space, that does not make them feel self conscious about their height.
