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

Having a classroom pet can teach students important values such compassion, empathy and responsibility for other living things. Students will also learn leadership skills and have added stress relief within our classroom. My students and I are excited to have a classroom pet and have decided on an axolotl! In having a classroom pet I hope to show students how to properly care for living things, use the set up of the tank and cycling of the water as a STEM teaching opportunity, as well as a way to engage students by assigning care as a classroom job as an incentive.
