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

Third grade standards cover the life cycle of organisms and the environment needed to thrive. By watching nature's magic, and journaling their changes, they will witness first hand how the life cycle of a butterfly changes and morphs, the stages and the wonderful changes these beautiful creatures go through. By observing up close they can journal over time like real scientists do, making measurements and sketches of changes.

Nature is so exciting, but to see it close up is magical!

Please help our students to have this once in a lifetime opportunity. Lets encourage our young to respect and care for nature. They are our future!
