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

My students are eager to learn more about numerous science themes! Please support my project in purchasing science books with beautiful photos and captivating facts about climate, animals, rocks, water and general science - as well as books that have ideas for fun, hands on science experiments.

These books will provide my students with fascinating and useful scientific information, captivating images and fun experiments!

And they will also enhance my teaching and curriculum with new ideas for hands on learning.

I appreciate your support in helping my young scientists develop their passion for science through captivating new science books.

Mrs. Truran
Grades 3-5
