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

This project seeks to support students in their STEM learning. First and foremost, I am hoping to give my kids access to engaging books and book bags to keep them safe. In addition, the project includes literacy posters to aid them in their science reading and math visual aids to support this year's major concepts. Lastly, we are in need of a simple classroom pencil sharpener for everyday STEM learning.

Primarily, I hope to provide my learners with exciting science books that they will be looking forward to reading.

Supporting literacy is essential because students must practice reading to learn. So, let's supply these 4th graders with books they will be eager to get their hands on. These book sets are full of scientific information and the kids will undoubtedly be fascinated by them.
