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 Project

I teach biological life science classes and physical science classes, incorporating hands-on, project-based learning in my classroom. I also incorporate technology, helping students develop 21st-century presentation skills and financial literacy. My classes incorporate STEM and STEAM skills for engineering. Additionally, we focus on social-emotional learning, teaching important life skills, and financial literacy. My students are a diverse group of enthusiastic learners who enjoy applying creativity and hands-on models to their learning.

The physics models, giant microbes, and sound bar will enhance student understanding and research, promote safety, and make learning more engaging and fun.

My students need giant microbes to learn about life science and biology, enhancing classroom instruction and learning. We will use these resources as samples and examples to learn important concepts and gain a further understanding of life science and physical science.

These resources will enhance their understanding, research, and make learning more engaging and fun. The sound bar will be used for presentation design and enhancing sound to create educational learning videos. These supplies will create visual examples of important learning concepts and the research technology resources will provide additional information beyond instruction. These will also be fantastic communication tools for demonstrations, investigations, and labs.
