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 am a first time Biology teacher looking to set up my classroom to give my students a welcoming and well prepared classroom. These supplies will assist in me being able to provide my students optimum lessons that are hands-on and creative. I want to be able to allow my students to feel welcome to express their creative side and show me their interests in biology. From exciting projects to even the simple layout of the class, this classroom will be the safe and welcoming space to all. This can be possible with all your help!
