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 am very fortunate to have the opportunity to teach a wonderful group of 5th grade students at a small country school in California.

My students love to learn through hands-on experiences especially when it comes to Science!

Having an actual illuminated sun, Earth, and moon orbital model will allow my students the opportunity to better understand the motion of the earth and moon around the sun as well as the seasons. Along with the model, my students will be able to also have the opportunity to participate in an engaging lab about the phases of matter.
