For my classroom I have students read articles in relation to the environment and its resources. This helps with reading comprehension but also allows the students to be aware of data in the world in regards to a highly needed source. Also, I allow students to take survey of how much time they use the water in their house. This information can lead to a math lesson where we graph the data but also can lead to a class discussion on what we can do to conserve water. Students can come up with actions they can do to manage the use of water. Some examples include turning off the water when brushing teeth or showering. Another concept that can be tied in is to recycle so that our oceans wont be polluted affecting our water supply. It is important to begin presenting these questions ot our students to make them aware of how much water is being used and how to manage it.
Hello! My name is Nayeli Ruiz-Sanchez. This is my first year teaching and am currently working with Los Angeles Unified School District. My school has a set instructon schedule via zoom from 9:00am to 1:45pm Monday-Friday. I really miss the energy from the students and working at the school without the students is pretty sad. I'm hoping that one day I will get to teach my students in person and get to interact with them versus interact on a screen.
Pre-Covid hobbies included going to the movie theaters, trying new restraunts and bars, amusement park, concerts, etc. Since quarantine began I have been struggling to find a new hobbie, but I have found awesome zumba workouts to destress when needed. Other than that I have found myself cleaning my house and devoting time to taking care of my health to change to a better and healthier lifestyle.
