Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

I am a bilingual 5th grade teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district. My students are Hispanic and African-American, and they are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Regardless of the many obstacles they face daily, they walk in our classroom ready to learn.

I am looking to provide them with fun, creative and meaningful learning experiences.

Through my personal experience, it is not what you are learning but how you are learning it that makes a difference in being accountable for your own education. Learning should be fun! My students are wild, emotional and full of love, life and have so much to offer the world. I cannot wait to see how much they grow throughout this year. My students are community changers and will break many cycles they are currently in.

My Project

We are learning about alternative energy and how to take care of our environment! What a great way to be able to incorporate real life global STEM challenges we face today in our classroom curriculum. In everything we do and learn in our class we connect it to our personal daily lives. These resources will be used as a STEM center.

These STEM kits will allow my students develop their own problem solving solutions while thinking critically and creatively!

Students will be able to fix an oil spill, deal with water shortage & also find creative ways to fight an energy crisis.
