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 Project

I've created a project that has two sides to to it. First, I'm hoping to add more microscopes to my classroom so I can cut down on the per-student ratio. I feel this will give more students more time exploring their microscopic surroundings. Plus digital microscopes create more inclusive accessibility to science.

Hands-on is the way to go!

The second part of my project is the 1000-piece domino set. Out of the blue, my kids set up some wooden blocks in a series and then tipped the first to create a "domino effect". I'd like to surprise them with this set so they create a much bigger and more varied set up: Physics in action!
