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 at a high poverty school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch! I have high expectations that they will grow and learn beyond what is expected.
School is a safe and happy place for my students.
Each day, they come into the classroom excited about the day and spending time exploring and learning together. For many of my students, being at school is the best part of their day.
My Project
Getting rock samples in my kids hands will allow them to see how different rocks can be found. Allowing hands on different types of rocks allows the students to see the different colors, feel the textures and observe the different elements within the rocks. Who does not want to break open their very own Geode!!
This will give them hands on experience with observing and classifying rock types.
My kids love to play with rocks on the playground, but have no idea what they are looking at. These samples will help them see just how important rocks are to our environment.
Nearly all 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
