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

Our students attend this Title I school in grades 1 through 5. We have general education, bilingual, and dual-language (English/Spanish) classes available to them. The majority of them (83%) come from economically disadvantaged families; as such, they may not have the opportunities to get their hands on various books and projects in order to spur their imagination.

Despite the circumstantial challenges placed on the students, they were able to meet and even exceed the state standard on the STAAR testing in 2015.

Our students are capable, bright, and the future of this country.

My Project

The majority (83%) of my students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds; as such, they generally cannot afford even the most basic of school supplies. Having a MakerSpace in the library will allow students from all backgrounds the opportunity to dabble, draw, paint, create, and innovate with supplied materials.

With the emphasis on STEAM in today's educational curriculum, elements of MakerSpaces are becoming more and more essential to a well-rounded education.

Creating an environment of thought, innovation, and risk-tasking encourages our children to develop into forward-thinkers who are not afraid to try ideas and adapt as necessary.

Housing the MakerSpace in the library ensures that every student in the school will have the opportunity to utilize the materials. All students grades 1 through 5 have an activity rotation through the library, where they will be able to create to their hearts' content.
