Celebrating 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
My students are just like sponges, absorbing everything I teach! Our CKLA reading unit is on lifecycles and insects. They loved learning about the lifecycle of a chicken, frog, butterfly, and tree and now we are moving on to insects!
We would like a Apple Macbook Air to keep in the classroom for students who forget their device at home.
They will use the Macbook to research websites and look for videos that will further their learning about insects. Each group will research an insect of their choosing and give a oral presentation. We need the screen protector and case for those accidental falls.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
