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

With the Paperweights Arachnid Resin Specimen and Different Insect Specimen Preserved in Resin, my students will have an expansive view on how insects look in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

These real preserved insects will also draw the students' attention and help them recognize these creatures and increase their interest in learning.

This will help my students develop their observational skills in recognizing each insect, allowing them to understand how different each insect is built to survive nature.

This is also a safer way for the students to observe and learn, rather than catching a living one outside.
