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.
The students in my classroom come from an urban, low socio-economic neighborhood. Our school population is extremely diverse with students that speak many different languages.
I believe that today's children need to be challenged to think creatively and to explore the many ways to solve problems.
Many children give up too easily when faced with challenging questions. My students need practice in perseverance!
I am always looking for ways to encourage students to be successful, and I believe that teaching them these skills will help them to be successful not only academically but also later in life.
My Project
LET'S FACE IT. Kids are not always excited to come to school. This is a fact of life! But why does it have to be? If this project for my Brain Busting bins is funded, my students will come to school each day excited and ready to go. Brain Bins first thing in the morning will get kids jump-started and in learning thinking mode for the rest of the day!
Each morning a student chooses a bin, which will contain an activity for the child to think creatively, solve problems, and persevere.
There will be many different types of activities. Some of these will be building opportunities of different kinds (such as Legos, gears, and circuits), logic puzzles, STEM activities, coding games, IQ puzzles, and other brain building games.
