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

When I think about going to school, I think about tons of textbooks, hours of research in the library, and a lot of frustration from not actually finding what I need. My goal this year is to provide my students with anything and everything they will need to be successful. For the first time, my students will be tested online in Math. The unfortunate part is these students do not have the resources available to practice and get comfortable .

Our students come from low-income households that require them to take on a lot more than any 8-year-old should have to.

This year because of Hurricane Maria, I have also received many students from Puerto Rico. Because of the daily struggles my students face, I want them to feel like the only thing they have to worry about is being the best student they can be. I want them to feel like they are ready for anything and everything that is thrown at them. I don't want them to look back and feel like their elementary years were frustrating and unfair because the expectations were too high to reach.

My Project

These sun supplies will allow not only my English speakers, but also my non-English speakers to be able to have a hands on learning experience. The sun was one of the most fascinating things to learn about BUT you can't touch it, you can't look at it, and you get build it. These supplies will allow my students to dive in without getting hurt or hurting someone else. They will learning about the rotations, solar energy, and the layers of the sun. They will also be able to create and watch a solar race car race while we use a solar oven. These supplies can change the way these students view learning.
