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 6th grade students are sweet, energetic, creative, and have a thirst for knowledge.

Help me provide them with a classroom podium, science manipulatives, experiment supplies, charging cables, and student rewards.

These items will enhance their learning by bringing science to life and making it a hands-on experience.

My goal is to be able to make learning science fun and engaging. I want my students to become scientists by doing not just learn about science by reading. For example, the cell models will provide students with a 3-D model so they can accurately identify the various cell parts.
