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 requesting a variety of science materials to allow my students the opportunity to observe life cycles of butterflies, live in the classroom. I would also like to provide my students with access to magnifying glasses to see the world beyond their eyesight, magnets to learn about positive and negatives, and other hands-on science material for exploration at their individual level.

The science materials requested will allow the students to develop critical thinking, foster creativity, and encourages independent exploration.

Life skill students will have access to materials they have never experienced before. I look forward to seeing the joy on their faces and problem-solving skills they will develop.

Ms. Vanderpool
Grades 9-12
