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

The students in my room are very diligent students who are constantly striving to do their very best and to accomplish their goals. Many of them are second language learners and appreciate the benefits of attending a school where academics are of the highest priority. They are always seeking to gain new information and to learn new things. With responsibilities at home that limit their time to explore subjects and to master skills, they appreciate a classroom where they are given liberty to improve in all subject areas. The more materials in the classroom, which help in this area, the more they will learn and improve in all areas. Our school loves to facilitate learning. As their teacher, I want them to love to learn and have the confidence and self-motivation to strive for their best.

My Project

With a majority of my students being from diverse backgrounds, it is important for them to see diversity represented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM careers among women and minorities are important for the younger generations to see and come to view as commonplace. The IF/THEN Collection allows my students to research diversity represented in STEM careers.

IF/THEN highlights women in STEM fields including many minorities and use of the Apple TV will allow sharing of the IF/THEN Collection through virtual platforms and in the classroom.

Once students have learned about the various ways women are part of STEM careers, they can then apply their new knowledge to programing and coding the Sphero programable robot ball. The students can apply their coding/technology skills from their own homes as we are still in distance learning. When we return to the classroom, they will be able to individually apply their coding skills in-person.
