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

My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn, especially when they can bring their ideas to life through hands-on projects. As we approach the end of the year, I want to provide them with an engaging and meaningful way to apply what they’ve learned through STEM-based activities. To do this, we need essential art supplies—colored pencils, modeling clay, and tissue paper—that will enhance their creativity and problem-solving skills.

These materials will allow my students to design, build, and express their understanding of STEM concepts in a way that goes beyond traditional worksheets.

Colored pencils will help them sketch out their ideas, make detailed observations, and add thoughtful designs to their work. Modeling clay will give them a hands-on way to build structures, test engineering concepts, and explore three-dimensional design. Tissue paper will be used for an end of the year activity

My goal for this project is to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity while ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed. These materials will make our STEM projects more interactive, engaging, and accessible for all learners.

What makes my students special is their enthusiasm for learning and their willingness to take on new challenges. They thrive when given opportunities to explore, create, and express themselves in different ways. By providing these art supplies, you’re helping my students develop problem-solving skills, confidence, and a love for learning that will last well beyond this school year.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and making a difference in my students' education!
