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

Dear Donors, please help me give my students science instructional materials for science explorations and experiments. The Branch Blocks set will support my students exploration of natural materials while building structures. Additionally the children will grow in problem solving and critical thinking skills as they engage in building, knocking down and rebuilding structures with the nature blocks. Furthermore the Math and Science Big Books are sure to keep my students learning as it will be easy for them to see the big book illustrations while learning about scientific content. The Agate Slices will be an amazing addition to our science center as the children will have a first hand opportunity to hold and see these colorful and beautiful science rocks.
