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

What happens when you are finished with your work early and want to continue learning? How about helping us out to build our Science Center, it will give my students the opportunity to continue to learn Science or review concepts taught in class.

I have 44 fantastic fourth grade gifted students in my classroom.

My students are gifted, however, just like any other person they do have their strengths and weaknesses. Some of my students finish their work early and usually read a book. I would love the opportunity to provide my fantastic fourth graders with a Science Center where there is more than just books.

My Project

The resources that I am asking for are educational science games where the students can play individually or as a group. I can use these games for the students who finish their work early. It will give my students the opportunity to choose what branch of Science they want to learn more about. I can also use the Science Center for students who are struggling with a science concept and need a visual and interactive way to review the concept that was taught in class.

Your donation will encourage my students to become independent learners.

It will provide them choices and the liberty to investigate a certain branch of science they are interested in. It will also help my visual and kinesthetic learners understand a certain concept in science.
