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

Kindergarten students will learn about beneficial insects in our environment!

Insect math counters will help my young students learn to count.

Living material order sheet will help me order live insects in the spring to use with our science lessons to learn about insects in our environment. They will learn that insects are very beneficial to humans and our environment. Math counting tins with plants and insect counters will be used with centers within the classroom. Your donations will help provide my young students with science resources that they use in class.
