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

My students are part of a Dual Language program in which I get to teach them their skills in both English and Spanish. I love getting to work with my students because it allows me to teach them not only the materials and to read, but to appreciate and embrace the language that they speak at home while they develop their reading skills. My students have a strong sense of community. The school is located in a small, predominately rural town on the outskirts of Dallas. In my classroom I seek to instill a sense of inquiry and wonder into my students. I believe that that, paired with empathy, will gear them to develop into well rounded adults.

Many of my students love when the opportunity to learn and explore arises.

One example of this is when I was able to add books that interest some of the students to my class library. After getting those books, many of the students were eager to ask me if they could check the books out and read over the weekend! This, of course, is any reading teacher’s dream. I hope I can continue to inspire my students to continue to seek knowledge.

My Project

Learning about circuits in a text book is limiting and fails to give students the complete picture of all of the intricacies that are involved in the process. This project will allow me to make the science curriculum come to life by allowing my students to explore the concepts in electricity and electromagnetism hands-on. The expected learning outcomes are to have students grasp the different concepts of how electricity moves, completing a circuit and also to instill a sense of wonder where they’ll want to keep on applying this knowledge as they maneuver in the world around them. The lessons I will teach will allow me the chance to model the process to the students, and after, give them the chance to explore making the circuits with their classmates.
