Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students have not had many of the experiences that I take for granted. I was talking to one of my scholars about cleaning his room, and he told me he did not have a bedroom. He sleeps on the couch. That made me rethink my curriculum. While they are learning to read and write, they need so much more. My students should have fun learning. They need outlets for their creativity. That is when I decided to create my dream project for my students.

Please help me provide these fantastic STEM items for my 2nd-grade SANKOFA students.

I want to prepare them for the future so that they can compete with their peers.
