Pasadena, CA Grades 3-5

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

Teacher Created Materials provide my students with access to engaging, hands-on resources that support creative and collaborative projects aligned with the 4 Cs of 21st-century learning: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity. These materials are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and deepen understanding across content areas, allowing students to actively explore ideas while developing essential life skills. With the right tools, my students can work together on meaningful projects that connect learning to the real world.

Many of my students thrive when given opportunities to think outside the box and learn through doing, especially in a classroom that integrates STEM and environmental studies.

Teacher Created Materials offers high-quality lessons, project kits, and student-friendly texts that would greatly enrich our learning environment. A gift card would help me bring these valuable resources into our daily instruction, giving students the opportunity to learn collaboratively, solve problems, and express their thinking in innovative ways. Your support would help ensure every student has access to learning experiences that prepare them for success in school and beyond.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
