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 Students

I am a librarian in a suburban school in Texas. This will be my second year as a librarian and it is the best job ever! There are about six hundred students from Pre-K to fifth grade at this Title I school. 85% of the students are Hispanic and 93% of our students are economically disadvantaged.

We are proud of how hard the children work and want them to be successful!

Our school's mission is to provide the appropriate tools and strategies to ensure the success of every child.

My Project

Our library makerspace needs some "Engineering Drop Packagage" to add some additional fun and learning for our 4th and 5th grade STEM students. This kit will have kids learn how to drop items from airplanes and buildings and the item not break! What a great kit! I bet many people have done the famous "egg drop" project. It teaches students not only engineering skills, but critical thinking and team work. Our students are economically disadvantaged, so it is important that we provide them with as many different experiences as we can. Our ELL students really benefit from these hands on learning experiences. We appreciate your support and generosity!
