Celebrating 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
My First Grade scholars are lucky enough to be attending an elementary school that has recently reopened! They come to school every day ready to learn and excited for the new opportunities that this year brings.
Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn!
-Benjamin Franklin
Our Title 1 school is in a very rural town in Arizona. Our classroom consists of many students with limited home support, lack of learning opportunities outside of school, and many language barriers.
We are in need of several items to help us with our academic gains this year.
My Project
My students are very creative and COVID removed the hands-on learning opportunities they desperately need to help foster a love of STEAM activities. These different activities will allow for my students to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics concepts during the hands-on learning during centers.
In First Grade, we use critical thinking to find new ways to approach problems.
These activities, including a jumbo magnetic 120s chart, individual rekenreks, fort building kit, and an engaging LEGO STEM book, will help reinforce concepts taught in our math and science lessons. Exposure to these engaging opportunities allows them to expand their knowledge and will enable all of my current and future students an opportunity to engage with these STEAM tasks.
More than half of students from low‑income households
