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 Students

Ms. Falcon and Mrs. Hamm here from DHS in Duncanville, TX.

Our students are a group of energetic, curious, and VERY social bunch.

This might not be a good combination for most teachers, but for a science classroom this is great! We take advantage of all their great questions, and allow our students to work in effective groups to problem solve and make biology connections to their every day lives. They come to class ready to learn, but are often lacking basic supplies like pencils, highlighters, scissors, and glue.

My Project

There's a lot of talk about STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, curriculum being a part of every school. An upgrade to this philosophy is STEAM, science and art coming together to build powerful connections. This is why we are requesting art supplies like glue, markers, color pencils, poster paper, construction paper, and scissors for two science classrooms with +160 students each. By adding art to our classrooms students take ownership of their learning and retain the information longer. Studies have shown that the use of color in note-taking builds more memory connections in the brain. Like art class, our students maintain and update a portfolio of their work, accomplishments, and growth. In science their portfolio is their Interactive Science Binder. Every class begins and ends wither their binder. Bell ringers, notes, observations, labs, posters, foldable, drawings, reflections... EVERYTHING goes in their binder!

We are half way through the year, and our back to school sale stock has dwindled away.

Please help us keep the "STEAM" going. We attribute our over 90% pass rate on the state STAAR exams to our colorful classrooms and creative students. Thank you in advance to supporting the Biology team at DHS. GO PANTHERS!
