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 have the pleasure to work with students who are always eager to learn about science and are always willing to help in the classroom. This project is a perfect combination of those two things.

Students enjoy learning about nature and taking part in hands-on experiences.

And, what better way to learn about nature than to bring a garden to our classroom. The garden kits will bring many benefits to our classroom environment, like improved air quality and, best of all, emotional well-being for all. With your support, we can make Earth science come to life for my students.
