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 project is a collection of items that will provide more opportunities to students to engage in my science classroom and to build a more diverse toolbox of skills needed in the real-world.

All students deserve to learn in a setting that is best for them and to be celebrated along the way.

I am requesting snacks and water to help keep students energized and engaged throughout the day. Pencils, colored pencils, scissors, and a pencil sharpener are something that are always needed and are always used. Fidget toys and bean bag chairs with help students who may require extra support or a different setting to help learn best. Items for a "prize bin" will be used to celebrate students and student success. Those items include stickers, squishy toys, pins, stress balls, and bracelets. Plant supplies (plant pots, soil, seeds) will be used for an upcoming Biology unit about energy where students can plant their own flower! The bracelet making kit will be used for students to have time to be kids and connect with their friends. The three drawer storage unit will be used to keep all snacks, water, and extra supplies for students.
