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

I strongly believe that my students are the future leaders of tomorrow. To help them reach their full potential, I want to inspire their creativity by combining art and STEM education in the classroom. One way that I hope to do this is by providing my students with magnetic blocks and STEM kits, which will allow them to unlock their full potential and pursue their dreams with the confidence to develop their engineering and design skills in a fun and interactive way.

On selected days, my students also engage in activities and snack time to help them develop friendships, grow socially, and boost their communication skills.

Most of my students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

I need help providing them with a brain-boosting snack in the afternoon. The laptop will used to create and print activities for student workstations. It will also be used to develop daily lesson plans and slide shows. Students will be able to use the laptop as a workstation. Students will be able to develop their reading and mathematics skills through different activities on the computer. The goal is to help develop well-rounded scholars.
