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

The thing that I love the most about my students is that they push me to reinvent the way I do things. I teach in an area where approximately two-thirds of the students are at an economic disadvantage, but they don't let that define who they are. My students have diverse backgrounds and I love to get to know all of their stories and embrace the awesome kids that they are! My students never fail to inspire me to become a better teacher. My students are 6th grade STEM students that are always looking for a challenge! They don't just want to learn something, they want to apply meaning to it and they want to know that it is relevant. I want to be able to give them the opportunity to learn and have fun and challenge themselves in the process.

This upcoming Lunar New Year is the Year of the Dragon!

Our campus offers Chinese as an elective and we would like to print some items that those students can use in their celebrations and education of the Chinese culture. I love when my students get the chance to incorporate what they learn in other classes with what they learn in STEM class. This assortment of 3D printer filament in bright, vibrant colors will give them the opportunity to print dragons, lanterns, lucky cats, and other items that can be studied and enjoyed!
