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

These requested essential items will apply to our needs in the science classroom. These items will support our young scientists in expanding their best experience in the science classroom. For example, pencils and electric sharpeners are one of the essential tools in our classroom. They are part of our investigations, explore in the labs, and support students in taking notes or sketching their ideas on their notebooks. Students must sharpen their pencils daily to support their drawing and learning multiple times in the classroom.

The next item is the ink for our color printer; our young scientist needs to plan their investigations and create their final project.

Hence, they require enough to support their blueprint and their final projects. At the end of their final project, each group must print their presentation pictures to make their printer. Lastly, our students also need some snacks to provide their energy while they are committing to their research in class; each investigation sometimes requires a lot of time and energy to make their project successful and accurate.

Our young scientists are always curious and thinking of new investigations.

The learning requires more time, along with more energy and innovative projects. For this reason, all the items that we requested will be super special and support our learning success in our community.
