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

My students are incredibly curious and determined learners. They love to ask questions, explore answers, and become experts. Unfortunately, they face many obstacles that make it hard for them to keep focused on their learning and reach their potential. Poverty, language barriers, and homelessness are all issues that my students deal with even though they are just in 4th-grade.

In our classroom, we strive to be a safe and inclusive community that encourages each other's learning and individuality.

It is within our community that they find a safe space where they can get breakfast, lunch, and an enthusiastic staff that encourages them to challenge themselves and persevere.

My Project

My students are curious learners who have been researching and developing understandings of extreme weather and natural disasters using literacy based units. STEM projects that connect to their learning would help them develop a deeper understanding of what they have been reading about. The Real-World Challenge projects give the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with an earthquake or the issue of water contamination so they can interact with the learning they have already done.

By donating to our project, you will give my students the chance to explore, question, and create learning that furthers their current understandings.

My students will be able to see what they have read about and develop new ideas, or sparks as we call them, to investigate. These projects will give them a concrete experience to answer questions they have, make the abstract real, and push them to further their thinking.
