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 science, and these materials will help them dive even deeper into the world of STEM! They’ll explore fascinating topics like bacteria growth up close with microscopes, making learning hands-on and exciting. The read-alouds will enhance their understanding of ecosystems, connecting what they see under the microscope to the world around them. The STEM games will encourage them to tinker, experiment, and think like real scientists and engineers. These resources will spark curiosity, build knowledge, encourage discovery, and make science even more engaging for my young scientists!
