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

I am creating book groups reading the classics to open the world of reading. Small group reading groups including plays on the books we are reading to bring the world of reading the classics to life.

Create inspiration through science with scales and hands on units of measure activities.

Activity centers focusing on exploration and creativity in using the units of measure in a fun and exciting way.

Broadening horizons by making reading and science an active endeavor to excite students about learning. That is the goal of the tools this project provides.
