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
My students are 21st-century learners who are eager to use all of the technology available to them. I teach 25 curious fourth-grade scientists in a small Title I school that has an amazing and supportive principal.
My students are eager to learn and their brains are sponges that absorb any and all information given to them.
Everything is a potential investigation or experiment to them, so I strive to provide my students with as many learning and project-based opportunities as possible. I constantly enhance the school curriculum and students' intrinsic motivation to learn more by infusing STEM correlations whenever possible.
Because of our small school size, funding levels are not as high as other schools in our area. Grants and projects like this one become an integral part of how I obtain resources to supplement learning experiences. I truly believe that the future lies in our children. They have virtually unlimited potential, and my job is to enable them to reach it.
My Project
Covid-19 changed the our way of life. It certainly changed the way I teach. Gone are students collaborating on a rug and working at round tables together on Math and Science projects. Students had to make a major adjustment with nearly all assignments being completed on a computer or tablet. In addition, teachers, such as myself, have to also make major adjustments in how we deliver content to our students without having constantly create new data sheets, and work assignments. As we prepare for to start face-to-face instruction, more adjustments will need to be made.
We need individual materials kits so students will not have to share materials, keeping themselves safe and germ free!
Because of mandated restrictions, students will need to have all the materials they need at an arms length. These materials kits would provide many of the main supplies they need complete assigned tasks. Each kit will equip each student with their own set of pencils, pens, crayons, erasers, a pencil sharpener, ruler, highlighter, glue stick, a notebook and homework folder all in a handy carrying case. This resource is a must for my students. Not only will it give them educational tools, it will also keep their most used materials organized and ready for any and all tasks.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
