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

My first graders love exploring the world around them and learn best through hands-on experiences. I want to bring science to life with engaging tools that make learning exciting and meaningful.

With a life cycle sequencing kit, students will learn how plants and animals grow and change.

A rainbow liquid sensory viewer will spark curiosity as students observe colorful liquids and explore early science concepts. The Lakeshore Science Instant Learning Centers will provide interactive, hands-on stations where students can investigate topics like living things, matter, and weather. These materials will help my students build curiosity, strengthen observation skills, and develop a love for science through play and discovery.

Thank you for helping my first graders become curious, confident young scientists!
