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

We are excited to dig further into life cycles this year! We spent time learning about pumpkins, we raised trout, and now we hope to see butterflies grow and change in the classroom.

My 1st graders love hands on learning and would be thrilled to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly up close.

These materials include the butterfly habitats, a book about butterflies, and some art supplies we will need for a full study of the butterfly life cycle.

Help us learn and grow alongside these colorful creatures this spring.
