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 are very special, very sweet, and very respectful. From the moment they walk into the classroom, I can see that they enjoy coming to school and are eager to learn. They get very excited when we learn something new.

Donations to this project will allow my students to learn more about science in a fun way.

By reading the Science Comics: Solar System, my students will be able to learn about the solar system. They will also be able to read other books like Weathering and Erosion, From Seed to Plant, Who Eats What?, Landforms, Rocks and Minerals, Clouds, and much more. By having all these books, my students will also be able to practice reading with a partner, learning new vocabulary, and looking forward to learning more about science.
