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

Safety is priority when viewing a once in a lifetime phenomena. My request of safety classes will provide the one most important tool to view the eclipse schedule for April 8th. My hope is to bring classes from kinder through 5th grade to experience how the light from the sun gets dimmed when the moon is between the sun and Earth.

My scholars are curious about the world, rightfully so, as future world problem solvers.

They regularly show gratitude even with the smallest projects during science class. Therefore, I anticipate great enthusiasm on seeing the eclipse. Any eclipse is a remarkable event. What makes this eclipse so unique is that it will be seen and appreciated on our area.

With a kind and hopeful heart, I hope you can help my scholars experience a once in a lifetime solar eclipse safely by providing safety classes.
