Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

I love my students because they are curious, creative, energetic, and full of potential. Every day, they bring different experiences, personalities, and ideas into our science classroom. I want to provide them with the tools they need to explore, collaborate, and become confident learners.

Pencils will ensure every student is prepared to complete assignments, take notes, and record scientific observations.

Whiteboard markers and erasers will allow students to solve problems, share ideas, and participate in quick formative assessments. Composition notebooks will serve as science journals where students can organize notes, vocabulary, lab data, and reflections throughout the year. Write-and-wipe sheet protectors will make activities interactive and reusable while allowing students to practice without fear of making mistakes. Clipboards will give students the flexibility to collect data and complete investigations throughout the classroom, laboratory, and outdoors. These resources will help create an engaging, hands-on environment where every student is prepared to learn and succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
