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 work in a inner city school that is pre-k -6th grade. My students are bright, energetic and have a love for learning. They come to school in hopes of finding a safe and comforting environment where they can thrive.

Our classroom is a close knit community that works together to ensure the success of everyone.

Many of my students are second language learners and 100% of my students receive free lunch. Although many of students come from generational poverty they still show up each day with a eagerness to learn and succeed. I strive to provide a classroom where my students can explore and be engaged in learning.

My Project

I am requesting Create a Chain Reaction STEM kit, Design and Build Engineering Center, Engineering a Coaster Activity, A Stand Up Magnetic Write and Wipe Center. These STEM kits will be a fantastic addition to my class. This is a great way to get my first grade students actively engaged in problem solving. The students will be able to work in small groups to build roller coasters, vehicles, bridges, houses, and make chain reactions.

The STEM kits will stretch their imagination and challenge them to think outside the box, just like an engineer!

It will make learning fun and make Science centers meaningful.

This project will help my students learn critical problem solving skills as it builds teamwork. It will build enthusiasm to explore the world of engineering!
