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

My students love to explore while they play and are very curious. The little scholars in my class have been obsessed with materials in the science area. I have brought in leaves to explore with magnifying glasses and a real beehive (it was no longer active). My students are so curious about the insects we have seen outdoors and want to learn more.

The Science Spin magazines will allow my young learners to understand that the insects and more go through changes in their lives.

The Duplo-Lego people will allow my young scholars to tell stories with along with their building.
