Celebrating 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
Our classroom is full of creative, critical thinkers. They love to learn and, more importantly, ask questions. I want to bring that love to life by giving them the gift of microscopes!
Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district.
My wonderful classroom consists of 27 brilliant students. 4 of my students are English language learners, and 2 of them receive special services.
Over 66% of our students qualify to receive free or reduced-price lunches. Our sweet students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a large array of experiences to our classrooms and school. School becomes a safe haven for these scholars - where expectations are the same every day and basic needs are met. While they come to school to learn, they thrive when they are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of resources to make learning real and fun.
This project will supply our students with a class set of handheld microscopes. These will allow us to view the world around us through a different lens. As our first-grade classes rotate in the afternoon, these microscopes will be used by all 3 first grade classes in our school!
I also have items in this project for more STEM building tools, anchor charts to help cement learning, fidget bands for my active students, and folders to help with organizing materials.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
