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

We do lots of STEAM projects in my NGSS aligned science class.

Toothpicks, marshmallows, popsicle sticks will be used to construct different engineering projects in class.

Students enjoy creating them.

Mechanical pencils are very popular in class and I give them as rewards.

Students also enjoy building things with magnetic pieces.

I will give the keychains as graduation gifts to my graduating 8th grade class.

Students are excited to use the materials and enjoy the last seven weeks of school.

We will decorate our cafeteria with the decors for our school dance.

We are looking forward to get this project funded soon.
