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

This project will help us explore the life cycles of Butterflies, Ladybugs, Praying Mantis & Frogs LIVE in our own classroom!

I make every effort to ensure that my kiddos feel included, seen, heard, and loved.

I want them to feel and understand that we are connected to nature and our environment...and that learning can be AMAZING as they make observations physically in the classroom instead of online or through diagrams and videos.

Providing them with these materials will allow them to have a very real hands-on experience that they would otherwise not have.
