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.
My Students
The majority of middle school students enter their science classrooms with an ingrained sense of curiosity about the natural world. Students love learning about various scientific phenomena as well as engaging in laboratory activities and conducting investigations. They are constantly asking questions and proposing topics for investigation.
My goal is to teach students how to think, explore, and understand this world like a scientist.
My kids are middle schoolers at a K-8 school located in a large urban area of Connecticut. The families that make up our school are hardworking people who want their children to be successful. They deserve a high-quality educational experience for their children.
The unfortunate reality is that budget cuts and funding shortages have drastically reduced available money for science materials and equipment. It is my goal to do whatever I can to level the playing field and get my kids the resources they need.
My Project
My students do not have traditional textbooks. Instead, they utilize an online science program that emphasizes various multimedia to deliver content. They are required to listen to audio passages and watch videos on a daily basis. Students also create digital content, record presentations, and listen to podcasts.
Students without headphones have a difficult time focusing on instructional material without turning up the volume and disrupting other students.
In addition, headphones are a requirement for certain standardized tests students take throughout the year. Because there are not enough headphones for every student, our testing schedule must be focused on the availability of basic resources, rather than the creation of an optimal testing environment.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
