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 writing to request your support in acquiring binoculars and handheld microscopes for our 4th-grade classroom.

Our young students are eager explorers, ready to delve into the wonders of the natural world.

With these tools, we aim to enhance their learning experience by bringing the intricate details of their environment into focus.

The binoculars will allow them to observe wildlife from a safe distance, fostering an appreciation for our local ecosystem. The handheld microscopes will enable them to examine the minute details of plants, insects, and everyday objects, sparking curiosity and a love for science.

Your contribution will not only support our current class but will also benefit many future generations of budding scientists. We believe that hands-on learning is invaluable, and with your help, we can provide our students with the resources they need to discover and learn.

Thank you for considering our request.

Sincerely,

Scott Lewis

Mr. Lewis
Grades 3-5
