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

When creating this project, I wanted to get my students more involved in the environment around them. I think one of the best ways to get the students more familiar with nature and the environment is by building a garden. Building a garden is a great way for students to work with their hands and at the same time get a good physical workout that will increase your heart rate. Students will be able to use gardening tools such as a hand shovel and rake. This will allow them to have a chance to build a garden and plant seeds, which will grow into flowers or even vegetables. I look forward to seeing the joy on my student's faces when they see what they accomplished at the end of this project.
