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 are actively preparing for lifelong learning and it is tough for them since English is their second language. These kids are bright and look forward to each and every new lesson brought to them in every area of the school. They love exploring new topics, actively participating in hands-on experiments, and reading aloud to anyone who will listen!
We are an urban school with low socio-economic status, but that doesn't stop us from giving every minute we have to improve our grades, our goals, and our impact on humanity.
Our school is culturally diverse, which makes for a great global learning experience. We are an accredited Dual Language School whose classes mandate that English is taught just as much, if not more than Spanish. We fulfill the "whole child" philosophy and make sure each child feels safe and loved. Truly, no child is left behind!
Even with that much going for us, we need your help so we can soar to even greater heights!
My Project
Having hands-on alternative energy kits will make teaching how the flow of energy works in a variety of ways. Students must know hydroelectric energy, solar energy, wind energy, and how we can help the world by using these energy formats and save fossil fuels.
These kits will make the learning real for my students, which in turn will make them see the value of alternative energy rather than using nonrenewable resources.
It's very difficult for students to know how energy works without hands-on labs. These kits will make students excited to come to class and keep them engaged the entire unit. Making an item whistle, spin, turn on, or light up will be the highlight of their days!
