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

My students are inner-city students with a predominantly Hispanic background. They are the nicest students I have ever taught! They are eager to learn and every year we make great progress.

This year, I am focusing on improving my students' learning and social and emotional skills.

To be happier, they need creative supports that decrease their anxiety. They need an environment that shows love and care to encourage them to do their very best each and every day. They need basic supplies in the classroom to be confident. This is my dream!

My Project

Please help me to give my students radio kits and pastel chalk.

I want to teach my students about circuits by making radios using these kits.

Many students don't understand engineering or what kinds of tasks they do. I want to spark an interest in engineering by helping my students learn about circuits through these basic kits. I remember making these at their age and it was very helpful in understanding how the electronics operate.

The pastel chalk is to be used for various art projects we do in class.
