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

Our students are great explorers and very curious about learning. This year our science area needs a make over. The new fish tank will help our students develop social skills by helping to feed the fish and learning about them. Also, the fish tank will help the classroom to have a relaxed atmosphere necessary for students to lean.

Science material helps students develop inquiry skills and scientific concepts.

The new set of insects will help the students to classify, describe and learn new vocabulary words. New science materials mean new adventures and learning opportunities for a brighter future.
