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 science lab is a place of challenge and discovery. Students will spend this year learning the foundation of knowledge and skills they will need as they pursue their education.

The students that I have a privilege of teaching are third and fourth graders in an urban inner city elementary school.

They are excited to explore the world of science, to perform experiments, and to expand their capacity for critical thinking. They take pride in their efforts and are willing to challenge their minds for the sake of learning.

Our student population is 99% minority and over 85% receive free or reduced price lunch. With that being said, I believe that they deserve the BEST education and every opportunity to be successful in fulfilling their dreams

My Project

My students need art supplies to create their master pieces that will display how the Earth’s surface is constantly changing. I am requesting easels, canvases, acrylic paints, paintbrushes, watercolors, and watercolor paper. Since we do not have art at school I wanted to incorporate art with what I'm teaching in science. I need for them to learn about rapid and slow changes in a different way especially after the year we've had. We have encountered a hurricane (Harvey), flooding, and snow and icy roads that closed our schools.

Not only will they master new science content but they will showcase their hidden artistic skills.

There is no better joy for a teacher than for her or him to see their students smile and have fun while learning a difficult concept.

Your donation will be appreciated and utilized for many years to come. Learning should be fun and exciting and that's what your donation will do for my students.
