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 Students

My students represent a spectrum of cultural and economic backgrounds. Teachers in New Mexico are proud of our diversity and inclusiveness. Our students relish hands-on, engaging activites from which they can discover scientific principals and mathematic foundations then espress their learning creativity through writing or art. We are a small school in a village which strives to maintain it's rural heritage and connection to the Rio Grande and an agricultural lifestyle. Parents walk their lamas to school to pick up their children and we hatch eggs regularly in school.

My Project

This request includes materials and activities that meet both the intellectual and kinesthetic needs of a wide variety of students. These actives lend themselves to exploration and discovery and can be differentiated for learners of different abilities and potential.

Our Steam Den will be accessible to all students and teachers from kindergarten through fifth grade.

The room will be divided into activity specific areas which will include both finished products like a robot programmed to accomplish a specific task and open-ended, exploratory experiential opportunities like building with Legos and K'nex. The space will be kid friendly and comfortable, hence the seating balls and wobble stools. Activities will include technologies from shovels to iPads as appropriate. Students will have the opportunity to look at artifacts contained in the Science Bug Cylinders; observe the movement of water in the Stream table and play with the concepts of net and volume with folding geometric shapes in a rice table. Students will keep Steam Den journals and practice making observations, recording and drawing conclusions.

I envision a room where mindful exploration, discovery, problem solving and creativity are the norm. Students can access engaging materials in a space that is designed for them and where adults are available to coach and guide them in striving intellectual depth and rigor as a behavioral norm. I want to foster habits of mind that include creative problems solving, collaboration and engagement that will inform these children's choices as they grow up and become contributing members of our society.
