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 third-grade students are eager to continue to learn during remote learning. They are energetic and very curious about everything. They love to express themselves in writing, drawing, coloring, and painting. My students are discovering the world through books and now through technology.
They meet all challenges with a positive attitude and a belief that everything is possible.
My students are primarily English Language Learners and their primary language is Spanish. I teach in a low-socioeconomic community where resources are limited.
My Project
I would like to get my students excited about STEM and space! I want my students to ask questions about everything, but, more importantly, I want them to be able to search for the answers in our very own classroom science library.
We would have books about animals, insects, plants, matter, solar system, weather, and force and motion.
The science library will provide a research area to further their knowledge.
I would also include STEM career books so that my students will become aware of the many career opportunities available in science.
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
