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 middle schoolers at a Title I school in New York. My students come from diverse backgrounds and many from tough homes. They are overcoming social and emotional barriers each day to receive an education.
My students are active and enthusiastic.
They are motivated and eager to do well. They want to learn and are constantly seeking opportunities to take ownership of their learning.
Our school is in a high needs and high poverty area in which most children are on free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch programs. My students work hard despite the challenges they face. Many students stay after school, participate in after-school clubs and activities and are always striving to be, and do, better for themselves and for others.
My Project
The materials for this project will be used to teach my students about climate change: the facts, the questions, and how we can create positive change for future generations.
My goal with this project is to educate and inspire young learners, and to empower them to affect change in the areas of climate science and how our everyday choices impact our environment.
Using the chosen books will enable my students to see the value of our planet from multiple perspectives and develop an awareness of how we are impacting the environment. These texts are engaging and varied which will appeal to my different readers. Having these texts will help students understand the human impact on the environment and ways that we can start making a difference.
