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

Curious, motivated, gifted fourth grade students need suppplemental science equipment to help execute exciting and educational Science labs!

I have 43 fantastic fourth grade gifted and talented students.

My students are curious and motivated to learn. They love learning about the world around us and that is why they have a fascination with Science topics. They love when we conduct classroom labs to expand lessons or investigate new things.

My Project

My students need necessary science materials to conduct labs such as microscopes, measuring tools, rocks and minerals. Having readily available measuring tools and a microscope will facilitate our classroom labs. Many of my students have never seen or used a microscope in their life. I would love the opportunity to show them how we can see the building blocks of life through a microscope. I also will like them to use and become familiar with science measuring tools such as beakers and graduated cylinders when conducting experiments.

Your donation will help our classroom by giving us the opportunity of having Science materials readily for us to use.

It will facilitate our science labs and encourage the students to continue to be curious about the world around us!
