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

Help my little ones explore the life of an ant! They will journal and follow the daily living of ant and all it has to offer the world! My little ones will begin this journey by setting up the farm and then journaling the daily adventures of the ants. We will begin with drawing pictures and within this journey turn to writing short sentences. This process will not only make the students more proficient in asking and answering questions orally but they will be able to answer in their journals also.
