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.
I am so honored to teach a class of 24 amazing first grade students in a diverse, Title I community located in the inner-city. It is in one of the largest cities in the country where all students receive free breakfast and lunch. They represent many beautiful ethnicities, and come to school with a love for learning, ready to show others what they've learned.
During this pandemic, I am eager to provide them with meaningful instruction, and needed resources to support their at-home learning!
Despite our many challenges, such as technical difficulties while learning remotely, the seclusion of being away from school and friends, my little learners truly enjoy our virtual time together. They have remained 100% resilient!
My Project
LEGO bricks empower students to spark their imagination, utilize their creativity, and build their engineering skills! We have LEGO bricks, but are missing a critical part for our next learning unit. Within the technology unit, we will be learning about how vehicles work, and these Lego wheel kits are perfect!
LEGO bricks are a fun way to do STEM and a great source to help foster language as they virtually collaborate, problem-solve, and negotiate their way while building their own vehicle!
Because we continue to be 100% virtual, we will engage in doing STEM via Zoom. With these wheel kits, each of my students will have access to STEM equipment they would normally only have access to if we were physically back in the classroom. This will provide them an equitable opportunity to do STEM.
Thank you for your support. May you all stay safe and healthy during these very uncertain times.
