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

The caterpillars, tadpoles and plant supplies will offer a hands-on, interactive way for our students to explore the wonders of nature and witness the fascinating transformation of caterpillars into beautiful butterflies, tadpoles into frogs and seeds into plants.

Educational Value: By observing the butterfly, frog and plant life cycle up close, our students will gain a deeper understanding of science and nature.

Hands-On Learning: The crafts supplies will be used to create a butterfly life cycle to engage our students in a meaningful, tactile learning experience.

I hope to instill the love and respect of nature!
