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.
Our wonderful school is in a high poverty area in Chicago. My junior high students are polite, well-mannered, hard-working students who come from good homes. Many of my students are diverse learners; many come from another country or are first-generation Americans. They all face challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite their obstacles, my students come into my classroom eager to learn and do their best every day. These students are extremely diverse in terms of academic ability. This diversity is great, but as a teacher, it can be a challenge to reach all my students when they are at different levels academically.
My goal is to make sure that all students, regardless of where they are academically, have all the tools they need to be successful and become lifelong learners.
Each and every one of them has the potential to be successful. I want to equal the playing field for my students so they have all the tools necessary to excel in school and in life.
My Project
Our Chicago classroom was lucky enough to receive STEM supplies recently through donations, but we are currently locking everything up in a cabinet at night to keep it safe. Sadly, when we begin to use them the next day they are not fully charged. We really need a locked storage cart and two USB chargers that we can plug in so that we can have our robots charged and ready to go every morning.
Some big focuses in our classroom are responsibility and kindness.
Having the locking cart will help my students practice responsibility by putting materials away, taking care of them so others can use them and taking ownership of the tools we use.
