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 are curious and enthusiastic learners. They are natural scientists who love conducting hands-on experiments. They attend a Title I school and live in one of the roughest neighborhoods in our city. Despite these challenges, my students are eager to learn when provided with the opportunity and resources. Our school offers a safe space for them to grow and flourish. We have an exceptionally strong social support system, with counselors working with small groups of students on an ongoing basis from grades six to twelve. This is to ensure they graduate from high school and enroll in college.

My goal is to create an exciting, positive, learning environment for my students to explore the world around them.

Most of my students come from homes where academic enrichment opportunities outside of school are limited. They truly appreciate any of the extras we can bring into the classroom.

My Project

When we were in the school building, my classroom door was always open to students to drop by before classes, during lunch, and after school. With the transition to remote learning, both students and teachers are missing this connection.

I would like to resume a version of my weekly after school club during remote learning.

I will put together boxes of supplies to send home with student participants so that we can all engage in the same activity over Zoom from 3:30 pm - 5pm. In this particular project, I have included supplies to bake and decorate a cake and cookies at home. Each student will get 2 cake pans, a set of measuring cups and measuring spoons, a baking sheet and a cooling rack, as well as mixing bowls and whisks. I think my students will have fun cooking together and they will be able to make dessert for their families at the same time. Knowing how to cook on their own is an essential skill for my students to learn.
