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.
We're a high tech classroom that happens to be multi-age. Students are always on the move to centers and guided reading or math groups to teach the standards we are trying to cover and keep students engaged. We love to use technology in centers and guided groups as well as in our thematic units. I have a classroom with students ranging from kindergarten to second grade. When the program I teach in was created, we were to get the lower students that just need more time to develop. Well, they did and so did our program. We have a wide range of abilities which needs major differentiation. I have high, low and average in each of the grades in my classroom. The wonderful thing about my class is that students can work at their ability level. I have kindergarten students working with 1st and 2nd graders! The students aren't limited to what is taught at their grade level. On the other hand, I have students that are working at a slower pace. They are allowed to work with students that are at the same academic level rather than being left behind as they might be in a straight grade classroom.
My Project
I have some amazing kids in my class that need the challenge that STEM projects and coding will give them. They love math and science. I talked with the students and they are the ones that chose the Bee Bots and Osmo. They are so excited about the possibility of working with these coding tools. I am excited as well as I will be learning right beside them.
My students will be fully engaged with the STEM projects and the Osmo during independent and group centers.
As we learn more about coding, we will be using the Bee Bots for group coding assignments. They will also be working on communication, math and problem solving as they work through various tasks. Thank you for any help you can give my students in attaining these tools. They will be well loved and used.
