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 idea is to have a small chicken coop at school where students can learn how to feed and take care the animals but also to relax from long test or personal days.

The food is going to help us keep the animals healthy in order to produce eggs that students can take home or use for cooking club to make food, a full circle interactions with animals

With the project will be helping students to understand the process of raising chickens but also use the chickens for emotional support
