Sizzling Science for Second!

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 are eager, enthusiastic, hard working and creative. All of them speak a language other than English at home, and are learning English at school. All of them receive free lunch because of their low socio economic status. My goal is to provide my students with rich educational experiences that support them as they build their reading, listening, speaking and writing skills in English. I also create opportunities for engineering, problem solving and hands on science activities which encourage them to use higher level thinking and academic language. Your support for my students shows that you see their potential as contributors to our community.

My Project

I have been using Science notebooks with my classes for about 4 years. Students learn so much from observing nature and documenting what they see in pictures and words. The notebooks I selected have open space on the top and lines on the bottom. My students will have space to draw, then write about their observations and ideas. We use these notebooks in our classroom research center as well as on hikes outside our classroom. We use these notebooks after field trips to help us document our experiences. The Scholastic Magazines will bring exciting science and current events into our classrom, in a way that will support reading and content area learning.
