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
My students range from K 2-3rd grade. They are wiggly, highly motivated thinkers who can not wait to put their imaginations into gear. They love STEM class because they are able and encouraged to think, plan, build, test and share their wonderful ideas to solve problems. I love to see their faces light up with excitement every time they test their creations. Nothing like seeing their sense of accomplishment. Just as fascinating is when they have made modifications to their projects and they can see the effect their adjustments make.
Their learning styles are as a diverse and rich as their ethnicities.
STEM class provides them with a hands on learning approach that meets the variety of learning styles. The "no right or wrong answer" environment fostered allows for the shiest of the them to feel like they can be active contributors.
My Project
The Xerox printer in the STEM classroom needs ink cartridges. This printer is used by the STEM teacher and by the Hurley staff. It has been thirsty of ink since last June.
The world is beautiful and filled with color.
Students love to look and work with images that reflect the world around them. Having ink for the printer in the STEM classroom is important in order to create those images and will help capture the students' attention.
Being able to print labels, center activities, signs, and many other teacher created materials in color is important and way more fun.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
