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

We learn about insects, and having magnifying glasses to see the parts of the insect helps us see the details. The head, thorax, and abdomen can be seen, and students understand where the legs and antennae are connected.

The life cycle of plants, insects, and animals is studied in second grade.

Understanding how the life cycle works through hands-on experiments brings the learning alive. Students make models and drawings and write about what they have learned after watching and observing the different stages.
