Kinder GARDEN

Help me give my students seeds, soil and more to create a garden.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Abril-Dotel's classroom raised $310

This project is fully funded

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

When you enter the door to our kindergarten class, you will see twenty boys and girls playing and working with manipulatives ranging from counting counters, letter blocks, a magnifying glass, etc. Though my students come from different backgrounds and nationalities, they all learn through play and hands-on experiences. Many of them speak Spanish as a first language.

They yearn to connect and learn from one another.

My students come to kindergarten with a range of prior knowledge, however, I differentiate instruction to cater to all their needs. They are full of energy, and they learn best from moving and acting out.

My Project

We have a lovely backyard play area behind our classrooms, however there is much need for greenery! Though we love the play area, there is not a tree or plant in sight. We are in the process of creating a garden with herbs, milkweed plants and wildflowers. We are reusing milk cartons as planters, painting them and attaching them to our fence. However, there are other items needed to expand this project.

This project will help students learn about nature and take action to help the environment.

I want my students to know that they can make the world better, one plant at a time.
