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

We are starting our new unit on Insect Life Cycles. I would love to get students some hands-on/real-world experiences with the materials. I love the game for extra practice modeling the different stages. The viewers are cool ways to see the different stages.

Seeing a butterfly come to life would give my students an exciting up-close experience!

Seeing the models up close will make them excited to want to learn more! I'm excited for them to learn all about the different insects and see which ones we see in our everyday community.
