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 received a new science program last year. The students absolutely loved the investigations that were included in the program. They were highly engaging and the students were able to learn through their own experimental strategies and conversations.

These materials will help rebuild and create additional science kits for each teacher to be able to successfully implement science investigations.

We were provided one kit to share between two teachers. This was challenging when only 6 flashlights were provided for 50 students to experiment with. That is one example of the challenges we faced with sharing kit materials. For the upcoming school year, we are adding an additional team mate so now we would need to share six flashlights with seventy-five students.

I want to give our students the best opportunity I can. Your donation will help me accomplish this!
