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 students love exploring and being creative. If this project is funded, it would allow me to provide my students with STEM items they can use at different stations.

With the STEM kits in this project, my students will be able to explore, use critical thinking and be hands on.

The timer will help with timing of rotations. The crayon sharpener will save many crayons from going unused or in the trash. The wagon will help me with material transportation to and from school. The table spots will help my small groups be more interactive. The bean bag for my calming corner to create a safe space for big feelings. The whistle will be used during recess duty or when I am trying to get my students attention when they are scattered outside. Finally, the wireless mic will help on the daily for lessons and specially to help preserve my voice when feeling under the weather.
