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

As we embark on the 2024-2025 school year, I am excited to introduce my first graders to the wonderful world of STEM. I firmly believe in the importance of exposing young students to STEM concepts through engaging and interactive activities that not only teach them valuable skills but also foster a love for learning.

To support this initiative, I am seeking funding for various hands-on materials that will provide engaging STEM experiences in our classroom.

The items requested include Tetherball Tennis, Lakeshore Super-Fun Marble Run, Pipe Builders, Hopscotch Ring Game, Bingo Party, Color Hoops, Play Tunnels, The Maze Cube, and team-building games. These tools will help my students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity through interactive and fun activities.

Your generous contribution will equip our classroom with these essential resources, enabling my Fabulous Firsties to explore and enjoy STEM learning. Thank you for supporting our journey into the fascinating world of STEM!
