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 Students

We will be learning about the Life Cycle of Monarch Butterflies.

Our school is located in an urban area with limited resources and we are PreK-5 grade school.

Students are developing an understanding of nature and how we can have a positive effect on nature. Students will learn that weeds can produce something beautiful.

My Project

First, the students will be collecting eggs, caterpillars, and milkweed from the school and community gardens, and surrounding neighborhoods. Students will learn how to feed caterpillars and adult monarch butterflies. Finally, students will participate in a butterfly release party.

Students will learn about the adult monarch butterflies migration to Mexico.

Students will use this interactive science lesson to make graphs, write stories, learn about science, and geography. Respectfully, this is an interdisciplinary lesson that can be integrated in the curriculum through differentiated instruction.
