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 in 4th grade love to build and to learn about science. Our fourth grade standards include circuit building. It is a great project to inspire future engineers. We build it in partners and working together is also a skill that is necessary as an adult.

The energy and excitement that comes from the students during this activity is incredible.

I can only hope to find a way to bring this to my classroom. With the generosity of all of the donors, we can make this project come to life. Thank you in advance.
