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

Exploring life cycles of living things is a powerful tool for helping students make sense of the diversity of life on Earth.

Life cycles show young learners that living things change over time, creating a sense of wonder about the world around them.

Plants, insects, and animals all go through fascinating transformations.

Life cycle activities are fun way to spark curiosity about the natural world! Hands-on learning that makes science memorable and fun.

Whether my young learners are exploring the journey from seed to flower, the metamorphosis of a butterfly, or the life of a frog, please help me by getting engaging activities to help them explore a variety of life cycles.
