Springtime Library

Help me give my students the resources that will both teach and encourage them to work together towards a common goal.

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

The students at HES are as inquisitive as they are diverse. We have an international student body that is ever changing and growing. The library is a place were they all come together and can work on reading, arts, or games. My butterfly life cycle habitat will help bring to life an ongoing fun project that all students can follow!

These materials, the butterfly habitat along with the anti-bullying books will demonstrate how we can grow, change and work together for a common goal.

Also the expanding the library collection to include a few introductory books about coding will expand their horizons to think out of the box!
