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

My kids and I are continuing to explore the life cycles of plants and animals in Science class. We made our "edible" soil project this past Wednesday and it was an awesome success.

NOW, I want to put some reinforcement activities in stations to solidify the concepts learned!

I am asking for life cycle puzzles for trees, flowers, butterflies, hens, and frogs; I am also asking for STEM sets of building tiles, blocks, and other shapes.

I appreciate you taking the time to read and donate to my project proposal.

Have an awesome Mother's Day next week XO!
