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
My students are curious, open-minded, inquisitive, tangible, and eager. Every personality makes every day worth coming to school because I know it will be a story or movie.
They are a fun group to teach every day and I just want them to enjoy middle school by finding ways to provide them with scientific hands-on activities and games to make science more engaging.
New Path includes scaffolds for different learners. By getting this set I will be able to properly support my students in their different learning styles.
Our students have extremely interesting minds, and once we let them express themselves there is no stopping them. Thank you for your interest in supporting my students!!
More than three‑quarters 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
