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 giving my scientist different ways to learn. With the second semester of school starting, allot of our supplies have been used up. My students are always working on science labs and cumulative projects. In my class our lessons include taking notes not just with words but with visuals included. This is where crayons markers and glue sticks come in handy. In class they have time to work on their projects with the supplies I provide. Sometimes they need a stronger glue; such as a hot glue gun for projects that requiere a stronger bond.

Help me give my student's the basic supplies needed to show case their projects and learning.
