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
My students are amazing. They are hard working and caring. They brighten my days and continue to amaze me with each leap we take. They love the hands-on and student lead learning that Living STEAM provides them. They are eager to work collaboratively and driven to provide creative ideas and twists to all of our projects.
Our school is a new community school in an area of Reno where families struggle to make ends meet.
Students are often left alone to fend for themselves in all areas of life. School, emotional struggles, financial hardship, sibling responsibilities all plague these students. For some of them school is their safe space and where they come to be kids.
What is Living STEAM you ask? Living STEAM is a hands-on approach to learning basic life skills through the STEAM approach. We develop skills in nutrition, cooking and baking, daily living, budgeting, fitness, and safety. The class is student interest lead, making it a great fit for all students.
My goal is to provide students with all necessary materials to be successful in my class, including offsetting perishable food fees.
My Project
My students expressed a want for an advanced level cooking class for the upcoming school year. Right now we offer an introductory that focuses on safety and sanitation, measuring, utensil and tool usage, then a short introduction to simple cooking activities.
Implementation of an advanced class would give students a greater culinary challenge.
In order to implement this type of class we need materials that provide us advanced learning curriculum specifically in the areas of baking and pastry arts. We also need tools specific to this type of skill that help with implementation.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
