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 Students

My group of kindergartners are eager to explore and learn. They are enrolled in a dual language program and are on track to becoming bilingual. They love the Hispanic culture and enjoy participating in all the cultural activities including South American, and even the European culture.

Families are extremely involved and are very supportive.

They love to come to school each and every day. The fact that they almost all have perfect attendance is testament to their eagerness, motivation and dedication to their learning experience. Out of 63 elementary schools in our district, we kindergarteners are #1 in perfect attendance in the district and my class specifically in my school! These students are extremely talented, but it is up to us adults, to provide them with the tools and skills necessary to learn and succeed.

My Project

The donations to this project will serve to purchase the required materials.

These materials include books, Insects and Spiders Science Viewer, and insect specimens for students to be able to visualize what they are learning and sharing this knowledge.

Students will use the Insect Specimen Set and the Insect Specimen Center to create a natural habitat for them to explore and learn how insects live and grow.

The Hand Magnifiers will be used to identify the six-legged insects and to complete homework assignments on what they see and observe in the classroom setting and in the materials.

Lastly, our classroom will use our two new chairs to be comfortable while reading our new books on insects.
