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

Every year, we, science teachers struggle to create an interesting and engaging classroom experience to excite our students in the world of Biology. One of the main reasons for this struggle is coming up with new and interesting ways to engage our students' interests. It takes an incredible amount of time to perfect each and every lesson.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, we ask the help of our fellow teachers for access to their awesome lessons.

Luckily some teachers are willing to post their lessons up for free but others ask for a small fee for their hard work, which is absolutely well deserved. So through the help of the TPT gift cards, I will be able to have access to great lessons while also giving the monetary credit the original teacher deserves.
