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

Raising a garden at our school will help me teach my students skills in science such as classification, weather, insects, soil, and plant life cycles; math: counting, measuring, and weighing, language skills: describing and comparing color, taste, and texture, fine motor skills: mixing, spreading, and chopping, and cognitive skills: curiosity, cause-and-effect, and problem-solving.

"From little seeds, grow mighty trees" -Unknown

We will grow cherries, oranges, kumquats, and various spices. Students will thrive as they prepare their food. Your donation will allow my students to form a lifelong love of gardening.
