Learning Through Discovery

Help me give my students a hands-on/ discovery approach learning experience. Students learn and retain information more through exploring and collaboration. The geometric shapes are very useful, especially to those students who are tactile learners.

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 Project

My students are unique. They have different approaches to problem solving. They like to share information and to praised. For us, each one teaches one so that no one is left behind. My students demonstrated perseverance and are willing to make mistakes in order to get it right.

I see my students as a garden with a variety of plants.

In real life, plants do need the right tools and materials for molding, pruning, and growing. Therefore, these specific items are the tools and materials that will help the growth of my students academically.

Mrs. Martin-Mighty John Duggan Academy Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
