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 truly special because of their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. What I love about them is their eagerness to explore, experiment, and discover new things. They have boundless energy and a natural desire to understand the world around them.

These resources will help second-grade students by providing hands-on learning opportunities, promoting critical thinking, and making lessons engaging and interactive.

My goal for this project is to foster a love for STEM subjects, encourage creativity and innovation, as well as create an adaptable classroom environment that supports different learning styles.
