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 Students

I have worked at my school for 17 years and continue to be inspired by the enthusiasm and drive my students to bring to class every day. My students are enthusiastic learners, ready to be challenged. They bring so much positive energy into the classroom, which only pushes me to want to do more for them. Though many are from a low socioeconomic community, they enjoy learning and set goals for themselves.

Many of our students are children of immigrant parents who have limited education but value their child's education.

My students are always up for the challenge and ready to explore new ideas. Many of them have such amazing goals and it makes me proud that at such a young age they begin to think about their future. My students want to further their education and pursue careers that will hopefully impact our lives in a positive manner.

My Project

Science is one of the many things my students look forward to in my class. These science kits will make it easy to continue with science regardless of our location. They will be able to immerse themselves in geology right from their home. These kits come with all the needed materials and address the area of Earth Science. My students do not have access to many of the science materials and supplies that we would normally have when we are at school. Therefore, this kit will help them understand more about rock, volcanoes, tornadoes and crystals.

Science comes alive for students when they have hands-on activities.

This will bring much joy and nurture their curiosity in science.

These kits will provide much need for hands-on experience.
