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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My kindergarten students are like eager little sponges, ready to soak up every drop of knowledge the world has to offer. Each resource in this project, from the butterfly kits to the accompanying educational materials, will transform their learning experience.

By observing the miraculous transformation from caterpillar to butterfly up close, my students will not only grasp the concept of metamorphosis but also develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

This hands-on experience will foster their curiosity, critical thinking skills, and love for science from an early age.

My goal for this project is to create a dynamic learning environment where my students can explore, inquire, and discover. Through this immersive experience, I aim to instill a lifelong passion for learning and curiosity about the world around them.

What makes my students truly special is their boundless enthusiasm and endless potential. They approach each day with wide eyes and open hearts, ready to embrace new challenges and opportunities for growth. With your support, we can provide them with the tools they need to spread their wings and soar.
