My students need a physical light-up model and color illustrations to help them visualize and understand the relationship between Earth's axis, tilt, rotation, revolution, and our seasons. They also need a printer.

Celebrating 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 teach 4th grade math and science at a Title I school in Tampa, Florida. Over 85% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. We have a high minority and English language learner population, as 69% of the school is Hispanic and 37% are still learning English.
Even with these obstacles, my students can be successful!
With the help of the right resources, they grow and learn at an astounding rate. I am proud to be their teacher!
My Project
During 4th grade, students learn about the relationship between Earth's tilt, orbit and our seasons. As 9 and 10 year olds, they have difficulty understanding a concept that they will probably never experience firsthand, like actually going into space. They need a hands-on method, combined with good color visuals, to comprehend a subject that is particularly abstract.
An illuminated model and color copier will help my students comprehend the relationships between Earth's axis, tilt, rotation, revolution, orbit and the 4 seasons.
They will get the benefit of an illuminated, hands-on, movable model incorporated with high quality printed visuals and text.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
