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

Making a 3D model of the Water Cycle will bring to life science that students will use for the rest of their lives. They will use the clay to represent the earth and sky in a shoebox diorama with black and white background that will come to life with representations for evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

I teach in Chatsworth, CA and most of my students are socio-economically challenged, so being able to work with clay while they are creating and learning will be most beneficial.

I thank you for your consideration and I hope to be able to bring this project to life.
