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

Have you ever experienced the best young scientists? Well they are my students who love to come to Science and learn many science concepts and skills! My fantastic students experience a lot of hardships in their lives - the school population is 100% free lunch and the students come to school just to get their basic needs met. Coming to school is one of their biggest joys! It is my honor to be called their teacher. They inspire me everyday!

My students love coming to Science, but they have nowhere to sit!

They are in desperate need of a rug and carpet squares. This will help focus my little scientists in class to continue to learn about all the science concepts they are learning!

A rug will not only help my students become great scientists but it will also give them a place to focus and learn. Having a rug space in my class will help some of my students who think better while doing their work on the floor to complete their assignments. My students can also do partner work on the floor in the classroom.
