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 am seeking your support for my science classroom, where we foster a passion for science! Despite financial challenges as a Title I-funded school, my students excelled with a 92% passing rate on the Statewide Science Assessment, surpassing the state’s 45% and our district's 52% passing rates. This achievement reflects our commitment to maintaining a motivating and engaging learning environment.

Our lessons are interactive and stimulating, incorporating hands-on activities, digital content, and literacy lessons to cater to diverse learning styles.

This approach keeps students engaged and helps them develop a deep understanding of scientific principles and concepts.

To enhance our classroom experience, I am seeking sponsors to help us obtain essential supplies. For instance, colored will be used students' interactive notebook activities and anchor charts. Colored markers and highlighters are for creating posters, one-pager graphic organizers, and for annotating text. Students use headphones to engage with digital content. The light bulbs and foam spheres are to create models of the Earth, Sun, Moon systems to help students visualize astronomical phenomena, such as moon phases, eclipses, and tides, making abstract concepts more tangible. Glow sticks, salt, pH strips, electrodes, and magnets will be used for investigating chemical reactions, changes and properties of matter. We'll use the ice melting plates to study heat transfer. The expandable spheres will help us to investigate density, mass, and volume.

Your support will provide the resources needed for these essential activities, directly impacting our students' learning and enthusiasm for science. Together, we can provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for a bright future. Thank you for considering my proposal and supporting education.
