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 Students

You will find us about an hour North of Chicago and an hour south of Milwaukee. Our elementary school is located in Waukegan, IL. We are in a low-income, culturally diverse neighborhood, where many of the students are learning English as a second language. My students come to school full of energy and ready to learn.

My Project

Hatching chicks is not only a wonderful hands-on life science lesson, but it will also create opportunities for me to teach concepts across the curriculum because the students will be so engaged! I can use this engagement for teaching content standards in science, math, reading, and writing.

It is so important to teach students the responsibilities of life.

Not only will they watch as life begins, but they will also learn how to respect and take care of the eggs and baby chicks. By donating to this project, you will be helping my students do that.
