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 absolutely love my students' enthusiasm for the Life Sciences! We began our studies of the plant life cycle by planting beans. Every day we record the growth of the seedlings and every day there is incredible excitement in the classroom. Over beans!

I can't even imagine the thrill they will find in creating terrariums and aquariums for the classroom.

Students will build on their background knowledge as they observe and document the life cycles of living organisms. Guppies and goldfish and aquatic plants are sure to stimulate their learning.
