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 Students
My students are a diverse group of learners who love school. Their curiosity and enthusiasm create a strong sense of community in our classroom, and despite any challenges they may face, they blossom with resilience each day.
Many of my students qualify for free-and-reduced lunch, classifying our school as Tile I.
With many English Language Learners and students with high learning needs, it is imperative that our environment supports students in every way. The primary grades are a beautiful opportunity to build a strong foundation for learning to support them throughout their education. I aim each day to build that for my students.
My Project
Twenty students in grades 1-5 meet in my classroom each week to learn about the environment and sustainability in a club we call "Green Team." In years past, we have worked on school-wide projects to support recycling, gardening, and sustainable living. Many students in this club have been doing this for several years now and have really found a passion for all things related to earth science.
I am asking for materials to support our projects in Green Team.
First, we will need a plant stand that will fit right by my classroom window. We are asking for a variety of seed starter kits, some plants will be planted in a flower bed near our school playground, and some will be taken home by students. We are also asking for a few garden spades to support our planting process. In addition to our projects, we are also asking for a plant nutrient experiment kit to deepen our knowledge of optimal environment for growing plants!
