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

For my first year as a teacher, I have the privilege of teaching 3rd grade Math, Science, and Social Studies at a Title I campus in Texas. Our student population consists of a variety of kids with diverse backgrounds and 95% of them receive free or reduced lunch.

I am requesting help in providing my students with amazing STEM bucket activities that will strike their creativity and help in building a fun relationship with Math and Science.

STEM bucket activities are educational tools that encourage kids to develop their own original ideas and improve their skills in problem-solving. The goal of these STEM activities is to help them develop their critical thinking and creativity while also providing them with the necessary skills for their futures.
