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

Each year we study how to improve our environment by reducing, reusing and recycling. These tools would greatly help us by engaging the learners and providing them real life experiences in these areas.

The books would be used to introduce the concepts and expand on knowledge previously gathered to understand the importance of caring for the environment.

The gardening tools would be used inside and outside of the classroom environment to give students a chance to plant, care for and record growth of various seeds/flowers.

All of these materials would aide in engagement and hands on learning experiences that will help my students succeed not only in their classroom but in their communities for years to come!
