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

We have just started a new STEAM Science class in our Elementary school this year. The opportunity to have hands on STEAM and Science labs were not available during COVID. The purchase of Lakeshore STEM Science labs for the whole classroom, as well as Keva hands on Structures, as well as Solar System labs, and other hands on Science will be a great way for students to continue their learning and love of STEM and Science.

This is a Title one school.

We have started this class for grades 1 through 5 just this year. The classroom did not have any materials. This project will help the class become successful, and used for years to come.
