Celebrate 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

What are we going to do next? I have this idea for our next project... Can I come in at lunch time to work on my presentation? This is what I hear on a daily basis from the fantastic group of students that I work with.

I work with an amazing group of students who are creative, energetic, generous, and great problem solvers.

They are always eager to take on a new challenge and they always have many different solutions to solving a problem.

The school that I work at is a dual language, k-8 school. Students learn English, Spanish and they pick a third language: Russian, Chinese, Japanese or German. The school is in an impoverished urban area and resources are limited for many families. Aside from learning different languages, they learn about the culture, traditions as well as struggles or issues facing these and surrounding countries. The school program offers a global perspective with a rigorous and challenging curriculum to prepare them for future learning.

My Project

Recently my students participated in a STEM competition where the topic was the future of farming. They learned about the different ways that food will be produced in the future. They also learned about the challenge of providing adequate food to a growing world population and that a large number of people currently do not get enough food to lead a healthy and active life.

My students immediately asked what they could do to help others.

After researching on the UNICEF website, we learned about the Power Bands. Once they are synced with an app, they track daily activity which earns them points. As students earn points, they unlock funding UNICEF uses to deliver lifesaving packets of therapeutic food to severely malnourished children around the world. The Power Bands would allow my students to help others while being active.
