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

One of the themes in my curriculum is on Insects and as you may know, preschoolers love learning about insects. When we start our Insects unit every year, they are so eager to explore and touch insects and bugs. I love watching them become the little scientists they are, and observe the changes in the life cycle of these insects. I am asking for some caterpillars, ladybugs, and different kinds of kits that the students will use to explore and learn about insects and have a hands on experience. Thank you for your support!
