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.
Our school is a Title I school that is in an at-risk and low-income neighborhood. My students come from diverse backgrounds; the majority are Hispanic or African American. A little less than half of my students are limited English proficient and exceptional education students. Many come from single parent households or families that are in transition. We work very hard to overcome all of these challenges. My students have the exact same eagerness to learn science as their peers in more affluent schools. Unfortunately, the school's resources and technology are very limited.
My classroom is a place where curiosity is cultivated and creativity is fostered.
My students are inquisitive learners who love learning about our world. I strive to make all lessons interesting and engaging so students become more curious about the world and crave even more knowledge. The world's greatest inventions and advancements all started with curiosity!
My Project
Have you ever heard of the movie rental kiosk called "Redbox?" Our classroom has our own version called "Readbox." It is essentially a visually intriguing classroom library. Just like movies in the movie rental kiosk become old and outdated, so do books.
The same books have been in our classroom library for 3 years now and it is time for an update.
Most students have read every single book our classroom library has to offer. It is time for something new. The books requested are all linked to the Earth/Space Science or STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) curriculum and are captivating with interesting topics, colorful pictures, and/or real world applications. These books will help students expand their minds with curiosity, keep them interested in scientific texts, and most importantly, encourage and foster a love of reading.
