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

I love how curious and eager my students are to learn about the world around them. They ask big questions, enthusiastically explore ideas, and light up when making discoveries. To nurture that curiosity, I want to provide them with science books that align with our curriculum and bring scientific concepts to life.

These books will help my students better understand topics like ecosystems, weather, energy, and more.

They'll support both independent reading and guided instruction, allowing me to meet diverse learning needs in my classroom. With these resources, my students will not only improve their reading and comprehension skills but also grow as critical thinkers and problem solvers.
