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 are always so eager for exploration. When we have our science units they love to go for our nature walks and observe our live world. Sometimes we see the science videos online. I’ve noticed my students are more engaged when it is a live learning experience.

We are starting our animals science unit.

I want to be able to give my students the live bugs to explore and observe them. We will be looking at bugs with magnifying glasses and share what they see about their behaviors and anatomy.
