FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vargas's classroom raised $1,068

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

I love to see the excitement on my students’ faces as we engage on hands-on experiments and investigations.

I want to continue fueling my 5th-grade scientists’ curiosity and passion for discovery through the materials I've selected for this project.

The lab coats and goggles will protect our young scientists during their experiments. The heating plates and beakers will help them investigate changes in states of matter and explore the impact of heat on mixtures.

This project will help me bring skills learned in our science textbook to life in our classroom!
