Wonder the How and the Why in Science

Help me give my students the ability to be hands on in STEM, and for them to experiment with basic science, and see and wonder the why, and the how.

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

My students are curious thinkers who thrive on exploration and discussing and discovery. They come to class full of questions and eager to understand the "why" and the "how" behind the concepts we learn. I love how they persevere through challenges and support each other ideas.

This project will provide hands-on resources and tools that spark critical thinking, deepen their understanding, and promote meaningful classroom discourse.

These materials will support inquiry-based learning, allowing students to explore, wonder, and explain their thinking in a collaborative environment.

With your help, I can create a space where every student feels heard, empowered, and inspired to keep asking questions and seeking answers.
