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

My third-grade students are bright and eager to learn. They are very tech-savvy and have been using a three-dimensional printer this year. It's now time for them to have a drone. This drone will help them see their community from another view, in the sky. Students in third grade need to know about their community. This is a perfect opportunity for them to take pictures from a different angle. They will have assignments and write about what pictures they took from high above. They will learn how to use the joystick and use the computer with the drone. It's STEAM and they will love it.
