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

I created this project to ask for your help in bringing excitement, learning, and creativity to my classroom. Our school serves a community with limited resources, where students often face challenges accessing the tools they need to fully engage in their education. Through our DonorsChoose project, I aim to provide my students with the opportunity to explore the world of dinosaurs through Lego sets and books, creating an enriching, hands-on learning experience that will inspire both their imagination and their academic growth.

Lego sets have had such a critical impact on my students this year, being used as incentive, but also in making connections from the sets they build to the books and content that they are learning about.

The Lego sets will allow my students to build and create their favorite dinosaurs, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills as they work together to bring their creations to life. These activities will also strengthen their fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and creativity. Paired with the dinosaur-themed books, which will broaden their knowledge of science, history, and storytelling, this project will open new worlds of discovery. For many of these children, a hands-on, engaging learning experience like this is an opportunity they might not otherwise have.

Your generous support will help to make this possible. By contributing to this project, you are directly impacting the lives of young learners in a low-income, urban school setting. You will not only provide materials that will engage students but also build their confidence, curiosity, and love for learning. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children who are eager to learn but lack the resources to fully explore their potential. Together, we can create a classroom where imagination and education thrive.
