My students need lenses and a prism set to observe light behavior, a solar system activity tub, and a mobile storage table that can be used to conduct investigations.

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.
Do you remember how excited you felt the first time you were going to conduct a science investigation? I see that excitement on a daily basis as students eagerly ask, "What are we learning today?" Best of all is hearing them say, "I love science!" and how they want to be astronauts or geologists.
I teach at a Title I school, in a low economic area.
Our resources are very limited. My school is about 100% free and reduced priced lunch. I have 85 fifth grade students who are eager to learn and despite all odds, always exceed our expectations! They are very enthusiastic about learning and are always willing to share with their families and friends their new discoveries.
My Project
Everyday is a new experience, everyday is a new discovery in our classroom. Engaging students in exciting science investigations is the main goal, but sometimes there obstacles along the way that delay these discoveries. I would like to provide my students with learning experiences that can spark their curiosity of the unknown like the solar system, phases of the moon, and the behavior of light through different lenses/prisms. My students also need storage organizers in which they can place their science tools and also conduct investigations on the top surface. Engaging my students in scientific explorations in the classroom and making them love science is my main goal.
I don't know if my students will become doctors, astronauts, scientist or teachers.
However, I do know that everyday I inspire my students to be the best they can be and never give up. All I need are these resources that can help enrich and spark my students' curiosities for learning about science. As Neil Armstrong said, "This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
