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

I think it would be a great idea to start a portable garden with my students. I will keep the garden in the portable cart and transition the garden from our classroom to the science lab when needed. I will also have some books on the side of the cart about recycling. We will be talking and discussing going green. I am requesting gardening seeds, a portable science cart, and a few recycling books. I think it is very important to teach students about recycling with earth day quickly approaching.
