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

Energetic, innovative, and bold are some of the few words that describe my students in my fifth grade classroom. Everyday, they strive to think critically, creatively, and work collaboratively.

Malcolm X once stated, "Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today" Living in a world that's so technologically saturated, it's imperative that we help our future engineers, scientists, and mathematicians in my classroom further develop their skills in order to be successful for tomorrow.

My Project

The 3D printer will further propel students to look at math and literacy in a creative manner.

Students will create objects that reinforce their literacy skills, apply their knowledge of mathematics, and strengthen their knowledge of technology.

With this 3D Printer, students will be able to let their creative side flourish and provide them with an opportunity to collaborate with their peers while doing so. This also exposes students to the judicious, creative use of technology in a school setting. The intention behind this project is to increase their [student] engagement, so they develop a positive outlook on school content.
