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

There are so many opportunities for using our beautiful garden space as inspiration for writing, drawing, composing music and just having restorative breaks! We have a community garden in school and we want to give students the opportunity to use it as a learning space. Having the portable seats to bring outside will enable students to create and enjoy nature. This opportunity will add richly to our learning.

The bins and organizing tools will help us keep supplies handy and organized in a large bin so we can bring that outside too.
