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

This year, students will focus on using STEM activities to think and act as scientists and engineers. While reading is a main focus at our campus, I feel that there is a great need to have students engage in hands-on activities on a daily basis. This exposure will help set a solid foundation to the future of technology.

My students are very inquisitive and curious about how things work.

It is a goal of mine to provide engaging activities that will encourage design building and help promote critical thinking skills.
