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

I would like to ask for your generous support for our classroom by donating STEM journals, pens, and a STEM kit.

These resources will engage my second-grade students in hands-on activities that foster critical thinking, collaboration, exploration, and essential 21st-century skills.

My students arrive at school daily with a positive attitude, enthusiastically embracing challenges. Through classroom discussions and teamwork, they share ideas and learn from one another, understanding that mistakes are vital to the learning process.

Your financial support will greatly enhance their STEM experience.

Thank you in advance for considering our request!

Ms. Escobedo Allesandro Elementary School Grades PreK-2
