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 students are special because they have adopted a positive growth mindset and tell their rainbow brain they can learn anything.

The soda pop kit will help my students learn about scientific concepts.

The Terrarium kits will help my students learn about ecosystems, the green house effect, and the water cycle by creating their own mini green house. The magnetic racing kits and the MakerFocus Science Magnets will be an amazing way to reinforce math and engineering skills. Yellow Door Dig & Discover Dinosaur Tactile Skeletons will encourage fossil excavation.
