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.
This year I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to loop with my kiddos from last year! This means, that I get to move up to third grade with my last year's class. That's right...every single kiddo! Two years with these kids is an absolute blessing.
To watch these young, eager minds play at recess, problem solve in the classroom, and challenge themselves to reach their goals has been a joy.
They are always seeking the creative route. It is their curiosity and eagerness to learn what has inspired me to reach further this year and provide them with more hands-on learning opportunities.
My Project
In a Title I school with roughly 70% of our students receiving free or reduced rate lunch, as well as English as a Second Language, it is imperative our students are provided with not only meaningful, hands-on learning, but also learning opportunities that engage, introduce, and open students to ideas beyond their realm of knowledge or experience.
These materials will allow my students to dig deep into learning experiences, to discover, explore, and challenge themselves beyond pencil and paper.
This school year, it is my hope to start each morning with STEM bins, providing my students time to build simple machines with K'nex, to explore coding with a robotic mouse, to use building straws, blocks, etc. to construct images on task cards, to use circuit kits to investigate electricity, to explore magnets, and more.
These materials will allow my students to build understanding through discovery and hands-on learning. Ultimately, my hope is to use STEM bins to further encourage a love of lifelong learning, taking risks, and thinking outside the box.
