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 have some of the most amazing future scientists! They are so curious about the world around them and I try to feed into that as much as possible.

I love their questions and their genuine interest in Science.

I want to expand their knowledge and appreciation of their environment by guiding them as they explore deeper!

Imagine how deep they could explore with microscopes! They would be able to see the organisms that we've only read about. They would feel like real scientists! My classroom will transform into a true lab! Who knows? Maybe this will spark the next great discovery!

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
