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

My students are a fun group of energetic kids who are always looking for more. They love the hands-on approach to learning and are excited to do more projects. The students come from all different types of backgrounds and ability levels, yet they manage to help and support each other to succeed. I am honored to teach them and humbled by how much they teach me. This group will be productive citizens in life. I know they will go far.

My Project

We are in the process of having a STEAM time in our school day. Our materials are extremely limited for the amount of students we have! We are looking to purchase Q-Ba Marble mazes and problem solving games like, Rush Hour. My students have researched different activities and really enjoy creating mazes. These materials will help give my students the edge when it comes to developing problem solving skills in our constantly progressing world. With their motivation on high, we are hoping to continue the push them to be college and career ready! We are hoping to have students in grade 3 to 8!
