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 are a dedicated bunch of 4th graders who believe that education is their way to better their lives. All of these students receive free breakfasts, lunches and snacks. These children have a set "safe path" to walk on to get to and from school. They know that they will be out of harms’ way when they stay on this protected path. Imagine walking to school in that manner every day? Many of these kids have perfect attendance or close to it. They know that an enriched education will help advance their futures.
These children want to enrich their lives both in the academic classroom as well as in their outside school-based garden.
They should be able to go anywhere in the world because they will have a great education, and not have to settle.
My Project
My students care about their environment as well as their health. They all enjoy maintaining the school-based organic garden. The produce they grow, they take home and share with their families. Many times this is a great way to have parents more involved with the school.
We have just put the school-based garden to sleep for the winter.
Now we are planning for next year when we open the garden on Earth Day. We need wheel barrows to move around soil and mulch to prepare and maintain the growing beds and pathways. The garden shovels and rakes will be used throughout the growing season to care for the vegetables and fruit plants. We grow a variety of crops and are eager to try new and healthy additions.
