Celestial Bodies

Help me give my students tools to create the sun, moon, and stars!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Keene's classroom raised $414

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

Students have been learning about the sun, moon, and stars. Students will use the paint, modeling clay, and pipe cleaners to create 3D versions of the celestial bodies they have been studying. All of my students are learning English as a second language and having the ability to create more interactive learning sessions will assist them in building their language proficiency and build bridges of understanding through multiple means of engaging with the content. Students will invite family members to the school to see their creations once everyone has had a chance to complete them.

Mr. Keene Clay Hill Public Charter School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
