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.
My Project
My school is located in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods of Los Angeles and many of my students live in public housing. My classroom is the first for a majority of my babies. In order to prepare them for a world where STEM, even at an early age, will ensure that they become successful critical thinkers who can make a better future for themselves and their families, it is important for me to provide them with fun and creative STEM instruction. Puzzles and hole punchers will afford them opportunities to build the necessary fine motor skills needed to work with classroom technology such as laptops and tablets. Building and magnetic blocks for engineering instruction allows for creativity and self-expression when designing structures and nurtures dialogue amongst my young learners. Mason jars and marbles give them opportunities to experience counting, adding, subtracting, patterns, and predicting, in novel and tactile ways that appeals to different learning modalities. Badge holders will be used to house name tags and designated roles for STEM instruction. Lastly, the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will be used to find developmentally appropriate STEM lessons for my very young scholars!
Although my students may come from very little, they are energetic, bright, and ready to learn all about STEM through these many resources!
Help me make STEM come alive for my babies and give them a future they deserve!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
