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 new arrivals from different Spanish countries. They come from low-income families. I have 23 students who have a lot of energy and are ready to learn. They love to explore and have a lot of curiosity.
These children have needs that our school is trying to fulfill, but it can be challenging because we don't have enough funds.
With the materials that we have, we try to make it work, however we need science and math tools to enhance their learning and skills. I want them to explore and be able to discover and open their mind to new tools, and be able to create their own ideas.
My students are a big a part of my life, and I want to have an impact on there learning journey!
My Project
My students will develop strategies to help them to do researches and be able to explore about animals and plants. They can enrich their learning in reading, math and make investigation through 3D experiments and variety activities.
Lighting your brain will open your imagination of new learning horizon beyond our minds.
They can explore and be able to connect reading, science and math through this great technology tools.
They will be able to work and learn through hand on activities. They can develop their curiosity and enhance the opportunity to learn, create and stimulate their sensory by touching and play.
