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

Bringing science to life in a NYC school is what keeps our students engaged and learning! Hands-on experiences such as this one bring a new understanding about animal life cycles and exploring predators and prey!

I love that my students are curious explorers who want to dive deeper into scientific projects.

My students have a true love for science and it will give them a chance for hands-on exploration that they would not normally be able to have. Giving our students hands-on experiments and interactive projects (owl pellets, owl study kit, etc.) helps them visualize as the science comes to life! It takes our lessons to a whole new level of excitement and engagement. I appreciate your generosity and help.
