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

A typical day in our classroom involves hard work, independent learning, creativity, critical thinking and lots of fun activities that are engaging. My students are incorporating a lot of visuals and art in order to enhance critical thinking.

Our school is a Title I school in a low economic area.

All of my students receive free lunch and breakfast, and for some of them those are the only 2 meals they receive in a day. Although they do have many needs, they are always eager to learn which is why I love teaching them. I am always determined to help them grow academically, and to teach them skills that they will use throughout their futures.

My Project

Science, technology, engineering, and math: the four core subjects that make up STEM education. It teaches problem-solving skills. The STEM bundle will help my students develop background experience, interest, and hands-on learning of topics in science like force and motion, magnets, gravity, building and engineering, and even coding.

Barry Saidu said, "Everyone should have an opportunity to learn in a positive environment, to enjoy the learning process, and feel comfortable and content within it."

This STEM bundle of activities and a wind tunnel discovery center will motivate students and make science fun so they can be STEM scientists! They will also provide hands-on activities and reach multiple learning styles and differentiated learning.

It prepares kids for the technological innovations they will undoubtedly experience in their lifetime.
