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

As a STEAM teacher who works with students in Grades 1-6, I am always looking for fun and project-based ways for my students to connect with the world around them, especially when it involves nature!

With the Carson Microscopes, my students will be able to explore and examine the world around them on a "micro" level!

For many of these students, school is one of the only times they get to play and learn outside and having this tool will enhance their experience. This is a tool that can and will be used by all of my students regardless of their learning needs. Thank you for helping my students to engage with the world around us in an up-close and personal way!
