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.
My Students
We are an inner city, kindergarten through eighth grade elementary school in a very high poverty area of a large metropolitan school district. Many students have their first experiences with science during their time with me. One unique aspect to our school is that we serve a large population of Somalians that are new to our country.
The majority of my students are English Language Learners from both East Africa and Latin America.
Our free lunch status is ninety-eight percent or higher. My teaching position is one of a resource or specialist teacher who serves over 650 students throughout the school year. One of my personal joys is teaching these students year after year as they transition through their elementary grade levels.
My Project
Our after school program has many hands on activities such as gym games, board games and art activities. I want students to engage in an activity that combines all of the above into fun, literacy based learning projects using animation.
Stop motion animation projects provide students the unique opportunity to be creative and physically active, this is just the sort of project they need for after school.
Students will write story boards, design sets and even physically perform while they use the HUE Animation program. What better way to have students take hold of their creative nature and incorporate literacy learning standards in the process. Of course, after student projects are finished they will be published online and shared with friends and families.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
