Creating Engineers of the Future!

Help me give my students building bricks kits so they can become independent learners with hands-on projects during our upcoming physical science unit using STEM. They will be able to explore and explain the projects they create.

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

Students in my class come from diverse cultural backgrounds, with more than half of them being English Language Learners. As a first-year teacher during distance learning, having a kindergarten class, I strive for them to be able to develop a love for reading and know that they can do anything they set their minds to, as they begin their learning journey.

My Project

Our next unit in science is physical science and we need hands-on learning materials to build, create, and engineer real structures.

These at-home brick kits will help my students interactively create real robots, bridges, and mazes where they can put their inquiry questions and class challenges to the test using STEM building skills.

Our remote learning has been terrific in so many ways but having real-life materials to strategize and problem solve is essential to support this Physical Science unit. If I get funded, this will be fantastic for my English Language Learners that I have in class.
