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

The Insect Lore Butterfly Pavilion: Pavilion Habitat and Two Live Cups of Caterpillars with STEM Butterfly Journal – Life Science & STEM Education – Butterfly Kit, will turn my classroom in to a science STEM Lab.

By providing these kits, my students can witness first hand the stages of the life cycle of a butterfly.

There are many things to learn from nurturing a butterfly. The kit provides live caterpillars, with food and a habitat for us to explore. Also, included are materials to read and write about butterflies. This type of learning, hands on, is the type of learning that students do not forget.
