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

Just like last year I'm slowly replenishing our 6 inch soft skin balls that have deteriorated over the years. So I am requesting 12 more rhino skin balls as part of this years big project.

This year's project is to provide equipment for students to create Rube Goldberg machines.

Rube Goldberg machines are part of students learning about simple machines. In partnership with our STEAM teacher we will be using the gym and all of our PE equipment to create Rube Goldberg machines. The equipment requested in this project are some common Rube Goldberg machine mainstays like marble tracks and dominoes. These sets will help students learn about simple machines and provide transitions between bigger machines. While we do have regular masking tape at school there is some equipment it might ruin so I have requested blue painters tape to help with the project.
