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

Environmental Science and chemistry come with many supplies for labs , and these organizers will help keep the year organized and labeled. In addition to the organizers, my students are always interested in hands on labs, and these resources will help provide hands-on consumables and storage for non-consumables to.

This lab restock will allow us to restock our lab and continue to provide engaging dissection, maintain our river fish tank , and provide extra student resources for a growing science program.

The organizational storage will help to organize my students lab supplies for easy access. The large totes will help organize lab notebooks, and the clear storage will allow students to separate lab supplies by unit. The laminated globes will allow students to draw wind, ocean and biome patters. The Daphnia, and cleaner are to update our river population and look at population changes over time and with different stressors. In addition to the consumables, the books and board games are to engage in the content in different ways, and bring more supplies to growing APES classes.

By implementing these materials in my class we will not only be organized, but able to continue with a variety of engaging and hands on activities with larger student groups.
