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

What I love about our students is their genuine eagerness to learn and ask questions. They are so smart, curious, and loving! Once I enter our classroom, it’s a positive energy with them. There is never a dull moment or down time! They make my day every day, with their love and honesty, they make me smile and laugh. They make me proud to be their teacher.

Your donations will help bring hands-on experiments and diversity to the science area in our classroom.

The sugar and food coloring will help students create their own rock candy. Playdoh will allow students to create insect models and their characteristics. The baking soda, vinegar and food coloring will give students an opportunity to make errupting volcanoes and more.

Our students love science and providing them with an inviting science area full of educational opportunities will make learning fun. The oil, baking soda, sugar, vinegar and more will help me create hands-on learning opportunities for them. The microscopes will strengthen students academic experiences.
