Celebrating 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
This project is part of a series of garden projects that I have written, with the primary goal of creating literacy, math, science and art extension activities which will take us outdoors. The curriculum used by my district for Pre-K has an outdoor component that I would like to enhance with a garden library that focuses on Wisconsin animals. I've started a beautiful collection of books, that include both fiction and nonfiction books, using Wisconsin animals.
The foundation of this project includes 29 books that will help to bring my students outside to experience our garden throughout the seasons.
It is important for children to be outside, experiencing the natural world. The materials in this project, will help to beautify our garden- the privacy screens will cover some unattractive fencing.
The animals will bring imaginative play into the garden even more than it naturally promotes. The children will re-enact the stories we read, they will discover some of the animals in real life, especially in the insect world, and they will learn many pre-academic skills while exploring and taking care of our garden. They will also learn about the changing of the seasons, life cycles, animal habitats, ecosystems, migration, weather, and gardening.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
