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 Project
Our students recently received STEM materials. The boxes they come in are not sturdy and usually get broken within a few uses. When students try to put the materials back, they don't fit because they are not exactly the way they came. Because the pieces don't fit, the lids don't stay on, and pieces go missing.
Students will take care of things if they have the resources and training.
I am all about training them; I just don't have the money to replace all of the containers.
Using drawers instead of regular boxes allows students to access the materials on the bottom of the stack without worrying about the top falling on them. Drawers also have a frame, making them nice and sturdy.
Students will be able to get the materials whenever they are finished working which will increase science minutes from 90 per week (if we are lucky) to more than 30 minutes every day! That's 33% more science minutes each week!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
