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 Students

I have a diverse classroom consisting of 3-5 grade levels of special needs children. These children come from different and difficult situations. My site is located in a hospital setting and due to privacy issues, I am not allowed to show photos of the children. We have limited supplies, and many days have to make do with what we can find on free websites. These donations will go a long way in helping these children get to use items they might never have the opportunity to otherwise.

These children are eager to learn but just need the opportunity to thrive and prosper.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

I am excited to teach my students about plants, how they grow and different ways to grow them.

They will learn old and new ways to grow plants and visually see their success.

With these great kits, I will be able to allow the students daily, hands on teaching of how plants grow. They will do assignments from the ground up, from planting seeds, watering, measuring and taking daily care of their own plants. This will give them great tools to use. They will see how different plants grow such as carrots and onions as well as herbs. These will be great teaching tools for our science class.
