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

The United Nations has nothing on us! Walking around the halls you hear students and teachers speaking in English, Spanish, and French!!! Our students come from different economic and cultural backgrounds. They also have diverse academic needs.

The Science Lab is the one place they all love to go to explore and shine.

In the Science Lab, all of their knowledge and experiences are shared and used to learn about how the world works. In the lab, they don’t have to be at any reading level or math level to be successful, all they need to do is be willing to try new things.

My Project

This year all of our 5th grade students are hosting and participating in a the first annual 5th Science Fair. These students are the first students in the our school to have had a Science Lab throughout their elementary school education. This is their last year at our school before they move on to middle school and they are ready to use all of the scientific process skill that they have learned. Students are using the scientific process to help them investigate questions they have about things they see in the world. The materials that we are asking for will help them present their findings to the public. In the past I have found that some students would not participate in these events because they were not able to get the materials they needed. This project would ensure that everyone has the opportunity to show their best work to our community.
