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

I teach science and science intervention, incorporating hands-on, project-based learning in my classroom. I also incorporate technology, helping students develop 21st-century presentation skills. My classes incorporate STEM and STEAM skills for engineering.

My students are a diverse group of enthusiastic learners who enjoy applying creativity and hands-on models to their learning.

They have a wide range of creativity and come from diverse background experiences.

I incorporate technology into all subjects of my classroom and my goal is to promote as much creative, innovative learning as possible. Many struggle with the rigorous challenges of complex learning concepts. I need additional materials to create an even greater impact on classroom learning and interventions. I want to encourage student engagement and achievement.

My students are learning technology, but I want them to learn about the engineering as well. They are studying life science, but I will have them further research sustainable forms of energy, recycling, and human impact.

My Project

My students need giant microbes to learn about life science and biology and the videos will help enhance classroom instruction and learning. We will use these resources as samples and examples to learn important concepts and to gain further understanding.

Students will use these resources to create digital models and demonstrate their understanding of important concepts.

These resources will enhance their understanding and make learning more engaging and fun. The giant microbes will create visual examples of important learning concepts and the video resources will provide additional information beyond instruction. Additionally, students will apply their understanding to create their own visuals, applying STEAM skills to their classroom environment.
