My students need these composition books in order to have interactive science notebooks. These interactive notebooks are a key component of our FOSS Next Generation science curriculum.

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.
My Students
"You teach 6th grade? Wow!" That is often what I hear when asked what I do. I work at an elementary school that has students from pre-Kindergarten to sixth grade. We are a Title I school that serves both breakfast and lunch and all of my students qualify for free or reduced meal plans. I teach 30 students, many of them English Language Learners. Every single day is an adventure. One of the truly nice things about my school is that it really is a neighborhood school. It is relatively small compared to other schools in the district, and most of the students that attend have many other family members here.
As sixth graders, they are learning skills that are getting them college and even career ready.
The students work hard from the moment we arrive until the bell rings and it is time to go home. The students thrive on hands-on learning in our STEM units and are fascinated by technology. My students are as capable as all other students in the nation. I just want to give them the same opportunities as everyone.
My Project
My students will use these composition notebooks to record their STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) investigations that they conduct using our Next Generation FOSS kits. They will be able to take notes, write about their investigations, collect and analyze data, draw diagrams and construct graphs.
These notebooks will also allow my students to organize and attach all of their hand-outs inside their books so that they can access them for future reference.
These notebooks will help build the foundation of science concepts and keep track of hands-on explorations. These interactive notebooks will allow all of my students to have ownership of their work and help them become scientists, engineers, artists and mathematicians.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
