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 Students

I presently teach 23 young scientists that love to plan, design and build things. They are learning to share and get along with a variety of personalities. My school is 80% free and reduced lunch and breakfast. This is a great place to teach and be a student. We are able to hike on our 39 acre campus, read in one of our many gardens, and plant a variety of vegetables in our new Learning Garden, or visit our Makers Space and create all kinds of things.The kids just recently created a leprechaun trap by just using their own imaginations with a few supplies.

We have a STEM Clubs daily which focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, but I need more kits to help my students plan, design, and create things using a variety of items.

My Project

My students will use these kits daily during Science, Math stations, and STEM clubs. Each student will have choices daily of what he or she wants to plan, design, and create; other times, I will give a project assigned to a material for them create. For example, I would have each student draw out their dream playground and then build it with the Playground Design Kit.

Using the Build a Car Kit, I would have each student plan, create and then then test which car would travel the fastest or the longest distance

These learning materials will improve their creative ideas, learning to work with others, a love for science, and their fine motor skills.
