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 second graders are very curious about nature and living things. They love exploring the outdoors and finding out all about their natural surroundings. This spring we will study the life cycle of living things and decided to watch butterflies grow.

Each of our second grade classes will be involved in learning about the changes a butterfly goes through during its life cycle.

The butterfly kits and related materials will be an excellent way for all of the students to experience the event up close and in a more hands-on manner right in the classroom.
