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

I teach science in K&1. My students are inquisitive, curious, and eager to learn. I've been teaching in the DOE NYC for 22 years now. I've been teaching science for 17 of those years. I just moved into a new classroom and would love to decorate it and make it inviting for the children. Science should be a fun, hands-on experience where students feel that they can explore. Adding a microscope, themed boxes, and other items to my classroom will lend itself to independent exploration and a continued sense of autonomy.

I want students to feel as they can learn and have fun at the same time.

Ms. Sypher PS 76 Bennington Grades PreK-2
