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

I am a 4-8th grade science teacher in a diverse urban school. I see a total of 150 amazing kids every day. I want my students to become skilled, passionate, and lifelong learners. I want my students to enjoy science.

I work with an amazing group of children who are eager to learn.

I enjoy seeing the excitement in their eyes when we get ready to complete a science lab. My students come from diverse backgrounds which make them unique. Many of my students come from low income families. However, they are the best kids on the planet.

My Project

Recently, one of my students asked if we could make a volcano. I was shocked that they never made a volcano before. This is why I am requesting 8 volcanoes kits. I want my students to learn about real volcanoes by building and erupting their own. With this kit students will be able to control eruption and continuous foaming action with hand pressure.

Your help will ensure that my students have the opportunity to truly understand science.

With the kits, I hope to reinforce the scientific method with the students. I know they would be excited about having their volcanoes erupt.
