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 are hungry to learn! They love hands-on activities that explore their creativity. They are ready for anything.
I teach in a very low-income area in California.
Many of the students come from families where one or both of their parents are farmworkers. Many of their parents are not educated but want the best for their children. They are very supportive! The area also contains a lot of kids in situations where there are a lot of mental health issues.
The kids come with a lot of baggage, but the students are great and impressionable. Most have never left the neighborhood, so they are very excited to learn about other places and things. I love this group of kids! They need positive influences in their lives, and I am very excited to be one of those contributors. These kids are smart and need to be shown how to be successful and make learning fun!
My Project
We have been learning about magnets and gravity in our science and language arts curriculum. Students have been dropping things and watching magnets push and pull objects. Unfortunately, I don't have enough magnets for everyone to use, so many have to wait their turn or observe others. Having more magnets would make resources available for all. Repelling and using force with magnets is an exciting thing to play with and learn about for a second grader! Magnets have become one of their favorite things, alongside LEGOs. Our LEGO collection is amazing. We are also asking for a new storage bag to keep everything together.
Magnets for all and new storage for our LEGOs would be amazing additions to our classroom!
