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

My students come from a high poverty area. A number live in temporary housing. Yet they and their parents are determined to make education a priority. My students want to do well and are so proud when they raise their reading level, pass a math facts test or complete a science experiment. The focus and wonder that my students exhibit is amazing. Even on class trips, they apply what we have learned - telling me this is an "urban" or "suburban" area as we drive along. Or, they identify some other aspect of the landscape.

All students have unique talents and gifts, yet mine often do not have a chance to explore these because of their socio-economic status.

Whether they are budding scientists, mathematicians, writers, artists, doctors, teachers or musicians - my students need support to help them discover themselves.

I am grateful for DonorsChoose.org to give me the opportunity to help my students grow.

My Project

This chart and store stand will allow my young scientists to manage their Science Investigations independently, with minimal direction from me. They can read their directions on the stand, and then gather their materials. If they need extra materials during the investigation, they can get up and get it themselves. Then when done, they return their materials independently.

Scientific investigations are a critical part of our science curriculum, and this chart stand organizes the materials for the whole room.

After engaging in the investigation, my scientists record their data, review it, and then discuss it. They read from related texts and then write a scientific explanation. The chart and store stand would be a big support for my science classes.
