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 students are so enthusiastic about learning! They are still little and sweet but beginning to understand things at a deeper level. I love seeing them learn to persevere and how proud they are when they master something they had to work for.

My students can benefit from science, technology, engineering and math STEM) education kits because it is a crucial field in education and employment.

STEM for kids helps them understand the world around them and prepares them for future advancements, and many students end up taking careers in STEM to develop these advancements.

My students love my class, in part, because I love my class. And my love for my content shows itself in my thoughtful, purposeful, unique, and fun lessons. I’ve observed that my students learn best when they are engaged, being creative, competitive, and doing hands-on activities.
