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

As a teacher in a low income / high poverty school district, my students are faced with many multiple challenges both in and out of the classroom. Somehow my students do not let the challenges stop them from learning. My students wait outside my classroom everyday, excited to learn even before the official school time.

Educating Students for Success in a Changing World is our school motto.

My students are eager to learn about the world and that they don't have to be confined to where their zip code bounds them. They want to step out the box that have been placed in and expand their experience.

My Project

I am asking for will help my students get a hands on learning experience when it come to circuits. The students will use the foam-boards to create a STEAM project. The students will draw a picture on the boards and will need to create a circuit with the other materials to light it up.

The donations to this activity will allow my students to learn about circuits and switches.

This activity will meet all different levels of learning styles that my students have. These kits are truly hands on and allows my students to think outside the box. The STEM project will engage my students to become creative.
