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
My students are hands-on learners; from kinesthetic science exploration to musical development, my students need science materials that will embody science exploration and learning.
STEAM collaboration is the future, and to help my students practice STEAM thinking, I need hands-on materials for play.
Please help me get lab coats, microscopes, magnifying glasses, color toner to make our class visuals, and books about scientists to make our scientist unit come alive.
With these materials, I can create learning spaces that allow my mini-scientists to explore natural materials to learn how to explore, and learn, like a scientist.
More than half 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
