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 classroom is an inclusive classroom where hard work and learning looks different for each individual. We are a unique dynamic of 60% English Language Learners who love science. This is my first year teaching second grade and I am putting together materials to offer hands-on activities that help me teach second grade standards and content in science.

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction“ said Isaac Newton.

I am requesting magnets to teach my students about gravity and reactions. I want them to learn through trial and error. Please help me provide magnets, magnet kits, and magnet labs to enable my students to form a lifelong love of science!
