Exploring Fairy Tales!

Help me give my students by giving them the experiences of reenacting stories using the fairy tale STEM kit activities and having magnetic boards to use with my magnetic letters and recreating stories using academic vocabulary.

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 truly enjoyed watching my scholars enjoy my classroom. I have the pleasure of working with several gifted and talented students this year and they enjoy STEM and art-related activities. These resources are costly, and my scholars don't have these types of materials at home, nor do we have enough of these resources on campus. My scholars have a drive for exploring more with hands-on STEM activities and having these resources available for them in my classroom would be awesome for them. This would make their classroom learning experience even more memorable. In addition to the STEM materials that I now have due to projects being funded, I am lacking storage for these materials and would like to have it easy and accessible for my scholars. My students come from families where both parents work some even at night so funds and time with their parents are scarce.

My Project

My students enjoy learning new vocabulary in both Spanish and English; these supplies can let them explore in either of them. Fairy tales are a major component of our curriculum, and I also like to extend the lessons by doing activities that are hands-on; these kits are perfect for that. My students can enjoy acting out what the characters actually had to do in each story. In addition, the magnetic boards can help them build their grammar and vocabulary practice not just using them with the folktales, but it can be used with any subjects taught in class.
