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

We are studying the life cycle of various animals including quail. We wanted to take an observational approach and need essential supplies to support these adorable hatching babies. Heating lamps, incubator trays, and hampster cages will sustain these little ones as they emerge into the world. Your donation would support my students through our Glad unit and help them gain a better understanding of the world around them. Also, do not worry these adorable little birds already have a forever home arranged once we conclude our scientific observations.

Thank you so much for your support!
