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

Students have good imaginations, and they are very creative. Please help me provide my students some art medium to help them create Science projects that they can be proud to present.

I believe that with some colorful paper, and brand-new crayons students can be motivated to focus on creating visual representations that can help them understand, and communicate challenging Scientific concepts.

Finally, I also included some Clorox Wipes because I think that it is important for them to also keep work areas clean after sharing art supplies. They will learn about the world, plus learn to stay healthy!
