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 low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
Objects in this package are for the growing Port Chester Astronomy class and after school Astro club. Students will be using the bins to organize their material, and the stool to gain access to the Dome Computer. Port Chester students are intensely curious of the world around them and have been excelling in their astronomy course. We have community-building astro nights in our planetarium so we need to make sure we keep our room nice and tidy! Students will be able to take ownership of the room space while presenting to their families all the things they learn about in class.
This project would significantly help my students' keep our space tidy as well as find where absent work can be found and focus on all of the hours of hands-on learning and build up the excitement of going to space.
