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

I am seeking funding for materials—owl pellets, animal books, animal viewers, binoculars, notebooks, a kite, and animal puppets—that will help my students connect with the animal world in exciting, hands-on ways. These tools will allow us to explore food chains, observe animals in nature, read fascinating books, and even fly a kite to learn how birds use the wind. The puppets will bring animals to life, making learning even more interactive and fun.

By seeing what sparks their curiosity, I can ask engaging questions that turn lessons into exciting adventures.

These materials will help create lessons that are both educational and inspiring, allowing students to form meaningful connections with the natural world. Your support will help foster curiosity and creativity, making this an unforgettable learning experience for my students.
