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

Help us continue our learning on animal adaptations. We want to have an exciting culminating activity.

We are requesting books on Firefly's and black lights to celebrate the end of the unit.

The activity will spark their learning. We will learn about fireflies with a new read aloud book and work under black light with our new pens. Children will be thrilled to see how their writing will show up under black light with their special pens. We will use the black light tape, neon post-its, and highlighters throughout the day.
