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

Please support my classroom by bringing vibrant science experiments and techy projects to life with colorful learning materials to help ignite a passion for learning STEM in my special education students.

Imagine the joy on their faces as they explore the wonders of STEM through hands-on activities tailored to their unique and individual learning styles.

By transforming my classroom into a hub of creativity and excitement - STEM concepts will allow me to foster a love for learning, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to excel. The limitless potential of utilizing a color printer and ink in the classroom, such as learning about the environment around us and caring for our planet, opens up a world of possibilities for bringing student projects to life.

This project will allow me to design colorful posters, worksheets, flashcards, and manipulatives to engage students in interactive learning experiences. Help me continue to foster a love for STEM!
