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 Students

I have a class full of energetic, curious and compassionate first-graders. My students love to explore, ask questions, read, play and dance. They are learning about community involvement and always find ways to brighten each others' day. They love helping and learning.

Our school is located near downtown Los Angeles, California.

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am eager to provide my students with quality and equitable learning materials and opportunities. I look forward to promoting creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My Project

My students love working together to complete challenging tasks. They are curious about the world around them and enjoy taking the initiative to figure out the answers to their questions. In our classroom, we explore mechanics and use our understanding to re-create systems and structures. However, our classroom does not have enough STEAM supplies needed to provided every student with the opportunity to explore STEAM.

Our classroom needs STEAM supplies such as blocks, bricks, craft sticks, index cards and Pay-Doh to continue our exploration of the world around them.

Having the supplies to explore structures, students will work together to solve problems with specified constraints, construct a variety of structures, build fine motor skills and push themselves to think outside the box!
