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 Students

Do you ever wonder about clouds and how they are formed? How about what is inside a seed that makes a plant or tree grow? If your answer is yes, then you must be an inquisitive being just like most of my students in my classroom.

My students are smart, driven, and very verbal.

They are 95% Hispanic and 5% African American. Most of them do not have a computer or other technology at home. Our school provides a safe environment away from gangs and other socioeconomic limitations. They are exposed to violence and socioeconomic limitations, like lack of food, that others take for granted. In my classroom, they get to dream, the sky is the limit. They've planned future traveling plans, designed their dream homes, and have become celebrated community heroes. The classroom is a safe haven where dreaming high is encouraged. Nothing is impossible when they dream, write, and share their future plans. They are enthusiastic learners because they are provided with the hands-on experiences and activities that at home are simply unattainable.

My Project

My students need HSP Nature Toys Life Science Root View Farm, Be Amazing!Science Experiments Twister Tubes, Dowling Magnet Activity Kit, and two Sprout & Grow Greenhouse and other science resources to help them learn and explore the world around them. I need your help to provide a science learning environment. They need to be motivated and to awaken their natural curiosity of the world around them. Learning about plants' growth and how the weather influence living organisms are experiences that will last a life time. The resources requested like the HSP Nature Toys Life Science Root View Farm, Be Amazing! Science Experiments Twister Tubes, Magnet Activity Kit, and two Sprout & Grow Greenhouse will make Science come to life. My students will get to explore all aspects of Life Science and Earth Science that make an impact on living organisms. Humans as living organisms, can make decisions to make either a positive or negative impact of our natural resources. As educators, it is our responsibility to teach our students about ways we can contribute to discover their world through hands-on activities and experiments. I hope to expose my students to new topics that could put them on a path to a career in the science field.

I need your generosity, to help me teach science.

Science is so important to my students' future. These materials will put them on a path of a love for science. With your help they can aspire to be future doctors, chemists, or astronauts! With your help we can help achieve science success.
