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

My students are curious and eager to learn, but they understand science best through hands-on experiences. I want to bring learning to life by giving them tools they can explore, touch, and investigate.

With this project, I am requesting cell models, Earth models, prisms, and kaleidoscopes to support engaging science lessons.

These materials will help students better understand important concepts like how cells function, how the Earth works, and how light reflects and refracts.

Hands-on learning makes a big difference by helping students visualize complex ideas and stay engaged. These tools will support all learners and build confidence as they explore science in meaningful ways.

With your support, my students will be able to think like scientists, ask questions, and discover the world around them.
