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.
The majority of my students speak a language other than English at home. The greatest part of our students' day is spent learning language skills so the bulk of their STEM learning involves reading and writing about science. They don't always have the same enrichment opportunities outside of school that other students might have.
My students love the opportunity to explore STEM learning especially when they can build things with their hands.
I want to build on my youngest learners' excitement about STEM by offering them enriching hands-on activities.
My Project
My older students have materials and opportunities for hands-on STEM learning--I need some activity kits so my first and second graders can share in the learning. I've carved out time in their schedule--now I just need materials.
I want to use an enrichment block to give my first and second graders who are already excited about STEM learning a chance to build and experiment.
I want to purchase a robotics kit for early learners, and some building kits to explore simple machines and electronics so my students will be able to learn science concepts through building and experimenting.
So many of my students are struggling with reading and writing--I want to give them more opportunities for hands-on math and science learning. It's the part of their day that makes them feel successful and starts them off as life long learners.
