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

My students are creative and proactive leaders in our school and in our community. They come to school with such excitement to learn. They come from low income families and many are ENL students. Therefore the need for materials are crucial to their success as lifelong learners.

My students are ready to explore and develop their problem-solving skills with your help.

Kindergarten is the place to give students opportunities to explore, build and think critically as they learn. My students are scientists, engineers and learning to be independent.

My Project

My class is a place where students can become independent learners. I need your help providing the tools necessary to enable my students to have the hands-on materials to make this possible.

The Ramps & Balls Exploration Set would be used during science where my students will build, test and experiment.

This will develop their critical thinking skills. The Create-A-Path Magnetic Center will sharpen STEM problem-solving skills as they create, test and reconfigure pathways.

In today's world, the need for these skills is more vital than ever before. I want to give my students the head start they need to become successful lifelong learners.
