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
I always start my class with a class chant where my students shout and cheer that they are “brave, smart, and unstoppable”. As their teacher this year, I am beyond proud of what they can accomplish under the strain of the year 2020—a year we are not soon to forget. What my kids lack in technology and resources, they make up with their boundless determination and resilience. I only teach math and science--the goal is for all 46 of my students to have math manipulatives to strengthen their learning!
Half of my students are learning from home and half are in the classroom with me—my absolute hope is that I can provide a classroom environment that is both positive and meaningful.
My Project
My goal is to bring monumental abstract ideas into the classroom! We will learn about plant's life cycle and positions of the Earth from the Sun in our upcoming science unit. I want to give my students the experience of being able to see planets up close. The greenhouse and the plant life cycle chart will help foster an environment that is rich in science and hands-on activities! I also included number lines in this cart simply because I teach only math and science. I would love for the students (both virtual and face-to-face) to have individual number lines to solve math problems. We have an upcoming unit in word problems, so I think this would be a brilliant way to foster understanding for each of my 46 students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
