Little Scientists

My students need science materials for our hands-on science center. This will allow students to experiment on their own within the classroom during social centers.

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 Students

Inside my Title One classroom, you will find anywhere from 18-21 English Language Learners (ELL). Although lacking the English language and almost never having financial stability, these young children arrive to school each and every day with a smile on their face, ready to learn. Surprisingly as it may seem, many of my students enter my classroom on day one, never having the opportunity to hold a book in their hands, putting them months, if not years behind academically and I love that I, as their teacher have the opportunity to make their first academic experience the absolute best.

After teaching ELL students for the past 13 years, I know there's nowhere else that I'd rather be.

My goal each and every day is to make my students want to come to school. I want them to enter my classroom each morning with a smile on their faces and with the excitement of knowing that today we're going to have fun and learn some cool new things. With your financial support, I will be able to continue planning both fun and engaging hands-on lessons that will benefit each and every child that walks through my classroom door.

My Project

As educators, we all know that kids learn best through play and interaction with peers. With these science supplies, students will have the opportunity to work together in our classroom to experiment in the areas of Physical, Earth and Life science. All of the supplies included are hands on and developmentally appropriate for young scientists. Kids also have the opportunity to build social skills, fine motor skills, and language skills while working in the area of science. Throughout the entire year, the supplies will be rotated so that children learn through thematic units. This makes learning science easier, being that they can relate the information to their real world.
