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 teach in a Title I school that is located in a diverse low socio-economic neighborhood in the Bay Area. I have 20 eager to learn kindergarten students this year. They enter my classroom every day enthusiastic and excited to learn. My goal is to have a classroom that fosters a love of learning and a wide variety of skills and knowledge.

Kindergarten students love to explore, discover, and be creative, and they need the proper equipment to support their learning.

I want my students to have the materials necessary to foster STEAM learning and to learn in ways they haven't experienced before.

My Project

My students need materials to engage in STEM and STEAM activities. Building blocks, dice, headphones, art materials, and a watering can will provide my students with the opportunities to work independently, in small groups, and whole class to explore and learn through lessons and activities. My students will be excited and engaged in these activities while building the necessary skills to become successful.

By donating to our project, you will be giving students the opportunity to learn the 4 C's: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration.

My students are in desperate need of STEM and STEAM materials to allow for them to grow as scientists, engineers, artists, and mathematicians. My students are the future!
