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
I am a 4th grade teacher. Our school is mainly composed of Latino and Caucasian students.
95% of the students are Latinos and they come from low income families.
This school uses the 90/10 model. This means that the lower grades learn 90% in Spanish and 10% in English. As the students get older they start to learn more English. By sixth grade all students should be completely bilingual. Students in their last year will be taught using 50% English and 50% Spanish. There is a big demand for enrollment and a huge waiting list. I want to mention that the parents of the students that attended last year were very satisfied with the school and the model we use. Most students are coming back and kindergarten is completely full and has a long waiting list.
My Project
STEAM Activities provide a wonderful opportunity for integrated learning, hands on discovery, and adaptations to ensure lessons reach students of all levels of ability.
STEAM Activities do a brilliant job of engaging students.
STEAM is child centered using inquiry based principles, we allow children to take ownership of their learning. As their teachers we can support them in following their passions, we can get creative with our lessons, making them fun and interesting. With STEAM we are teaching skills the way they will be used in the real world.
With this project, I want to engage my students in their learning, while they learn about different topics. Each month we will be doing STEAM projects based on a topic: Thanksgiving, Earth day, Black History Month, Christmas, Women's History Month...
We will base our projects on a book we will read out loud and then we will let the students explore, design, research and do their own learning while engage in lot of fun activities.
We will be doing Science, Math, Language Art , Arts and even engineering at the same time!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
