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
My students are eager, active, curious, and imaginative hands-on learners. My students are engaged daily in a rigorous, integrated academic curriculum, which includes a high emphasis in STEM learning. Students live in a high poverty, metropolitan city and attend a Title I school. Our inner city school lacks the funding to access supplemental learning materials.
My students show up to class daily and work diligently to overcome the many challenges they face living in the inner city.
My students enjoy working cooperatively and display great creativity. Parents continually seek the best possible educational opportunities for their child. Additionally, I believe children benefit from experiences that include discovery, exploration, awakening curiosity, and an appreciation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
My Project
When I came across the book I am requesting for my students called Say Something by Peter H. Reynolds, it inspired the idea for this project. Students are growing up in a world that is facing many challenges. Students need to be empowered to address those challenges by learning to express themselves through a powerful and strong voice.
"The world needs your voice.
If you have a brilliant idea... say something! If you see an injustice... say something!" This excerpt from the book that I am requesting highlights the empowering life lesson it will teach my students. After reading the book aloud to my students, it will lead to an exhilarating Literature Circle discussion using the Qball Throwable Microphone. The Qball Throwable Microphone will engage my students in discussing how they can state their opinion, speak up for what they believe in, and express how they feel. The Qball Throwable Microphone will particularly motivate my shy students to speak up, express themselves more during classroom discussions, and "Say something!"
