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 would like to give my students a class pet!

I believe that a this project will teach my students important values.

A class pet can teach children important values like compassion, empathy, respect, and responsibility for other living things, as well as give them much-needed leadership skills and stress relief.

I can also incorporate lessons into pet care with the aquarium and related supplies. I could do lessons in reading, math, science, and more. The possibilities really are endless!

The class pet would be educational and good for social-emotional development.

Plus, they have been begging for a class pet!
