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
My students are ages 4-5. The majority of them are English Language Learners who have never attended full-time school before. They live in homes with non-English speaking parents or caretakers.
My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day.
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. For most of my students, our classroom is their only opportunity to experience teamwork and become successful learners.
My Project
This year my goal is to provide my students with an environment that gives them an opportunity for their best learning.
My kindergarteners need these STEM building materials to explore and discover using their own creativity.
This project would provide different kinds of materials such as Keva Planks, Tinker Toys, and Brain Flakes for my students to work with. Although we have a small classroom, providing my students with centers allows them to move and interact with each other. By using these various building materials, they will develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and verbal skills while creating structures together. They will also become independent learners and be able to move at their own pace based on their ability, which widely varies from student to student. The STEM building materials will foster and benefit their creativity.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
