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
Our sweet students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a large array of experiences to our classrooms and school. One thing they all have in common is using their imaginations and creating a happy world within our walls.
Daily, our students overcome a variety of basic challenges - getting breakfast, making it to school, having homework completed.
Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district. Over 80% of our students qualify to receive free or reduced-price lunch. School becomes a safe haven for these scholars - where expectations are the same every day, and their basic needs are met. While they come to school to learn, they thrive when they are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of resources to make learning real and fun. This is what keeps them coming back and keeps them hooked into learning the rigorous academic standards.
My Project
Science is an important part of the elementary education. Through science activities in classrooms, students learn to explore, evaluate, think and discover. They learn to make predictions and work through procedures, and then to refine their predictions based on the results.
These kits will provide us with easy access to teach science to all of our students.
Science education, while fun, is often difficult as it is time-consuming as it requires a lot of time to gather supplies and materials to put experiments in action. These kits contain all the necessary supplies for us to offer discovery-based scientific learning in our classrooms!
More than half 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
