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

Please help provide the resources my students need to study the various science units this year. The lighting resources will be a major part of our Earth and space unit when we study how the Earth rotates, constellations and the moon cycles. These lights will provide my students with the hands on resources we need to make a meaningful lesson. The other materials are resources we need to move our science materials around the building safely when we have lessons outside. The wagon and cart will help us get our resources their safely without breaking or spilling it in transition.

Please help our future scholars become the super scientist they are by helping provide the materials we need to have interactive hands on lessons that last a lifetime.
