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 service the whole school and split to additional time in another building, teaching science as a science specialist. My students are PK-5 with general education, bilingual education, and special education in two different buildings. After last year I want to bring more hands-on science and STEM opportunities to my students.

My Project

Giving students manipulatives and idea cards can help the engineering mind as the students design and create going through each of the steps in the Engineering and Design Process.

The students will have easier access to building materials that can help spark more creative exploration, play, and building encouraging students to be involved in STEM.

Having these resources will build the foundation in STEM in the lower elementary grades, and strengthen their STEM experiences in the upper elementary grades. I am hoping to give more hands-on experiences to my classrooms this year.
