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.
As a teacher in a high school, I have the unique opportunity to teach students who are just starting to look towards their own future. To me, this means it is the perfect time to truly introduce the students to the world around them as well as show them career opportunities.
My students are almost, but not quite, adults.
They desperately want to be treated like adults, and many of them act like it, as they have grown up in difficult situations, but they are still teenagers. Some of my daily joy is getting them to put aside their home burdens aside so they can focus on growing as a person and maybe giggle along the way.
My class is filled with brilliant minds who are at a disadvantage for the technology-focused future they have all chosen. I love showing them all the opportunities that exist for them and giving them hope to pursue what they would like.
My Project
In my Environmental Science class, we frequently do creative projects along with the typical analytical projects. I have found that teaching in multiple ways is more universal and accepting of my students' interests and needs. I also use stickers as motivators during work that some students are struggling with. Both allow me to create lessons that are more accessible to all.
My students love to create and enjoy fostering that creativity in science class.
Markers, poster paper, and stickers allow me to support and motivate my high schoolers in unusual ways. I love teaching creatively and to do so I need some basic supplies!
