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 have become incredibly interested in planets, rockets, astronauts, and spaceships! They are interested in learning about the universe! I would like to attain materials to enhance their STEM and science abilities in the early childhood classroom. I would like for them to play and learn about astronauts and planets using hands-on materials where they can role-model and pretend play going to outerspace and visiting other planets. I also want them to learn about how to take care of our earth and how the earth functions with the sun and the moon. We are greatly appreciative of any generosity given towards this project.
