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

For Earth Day, my lovely students learned about the many ways that we can care for our planet. One thing that my class was particularly excited about was the idea of planting trees, and flowers or growing our own food to make our world a better place.

My students would be thrilled to demonstrate independence and creativity skills by being able to decorate their pots and plant their own succulents!

We are requesting soil, pots, succulents, and paint. Please join us in continuing the celebration of our love for our planet Earth!
