Shining Stars: Empowering Student Achievement Through Rewards

Help me give my students printer ink, lip balm and soap making kits, and a variety of science kits as rewards they deserve because of their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to their learning journey. Each day, they bring their curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to grow into the classroom.

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

What I love about my students is their unique blend of curiosity, resilience, and creativity. Each day, they bring a fresh perspective and an eagerness to learn that invigorates the classroom environment. Their enthusiasm for exploring new ideas and their willingness to embrace challenges inspire me as an educator.

When it comes to resources, I see them as tools to unlock my students' full potential.

Each resource is carefully selected and tailored to address their diverse learning styles, interests, and needs.

The Steve Spangler Science Extreme Geyser Tube helps to keep students interested in science. The girls in class are really into lip balm; how fun would it be for them to learn how it is made and make their own? What better way to help them appreicate the sun and how it can help power robots than by making the STEM solar power robots?
