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, open-minded, inquisitive, tangible, and eager. Every personality makes every day worth coming to school because I know it will be a story or movie.

They are a fun group to teach every day and I just want them to enjoy middle school by finding ways to provide them with scientific hands-on activities and games to make science more engaging.

New Path includes scaffolds for different learners. By getting these sets I will be able to properly support my students in their different learning styles. It includes engineering projects that relate to each of the Major Science Areas Covered in middle school.

Our students have extremely interesting minds, and once we let them express themselves there is no stopping them. Thank you for your interest in supporting my students!!
