Celebrating 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
My students love learning not only about everything in the world around us but beyond. Space and our solar system is a particular favorite. We watched books read by astronauts in space. They were riveted, and then the questions started. Without actual models it was hard for them to visualize what the planets were like, how big they are in relation to Earth, etc. We have an unit about the Earth and Space in our curriculum. These materials will give them a richer understanding about the wonderful solar system we inhabit.
