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

Hello, in this project I am kindly requesting flower seeds. I want my students to plant their own seeds in a small pot and watch science unfold in front of them.

I feel this will be a great way to end the school year, with hands-on activities they will treasure forever and to honor the life of a classmate gone too soon.

In this project I have selected various kinds of flower seeds such as tulips, peony and small solar lights to light up the gardening area. I also included Lysol wipes to keep the working areas clean. Students recently lost a classmate and growing flowers in honor of his is something they really want to do. We recently got some pots and seeds donated in a recent project, so these items will allow me to provide for all students. Thanks in advance for your support in making this project a reality for my students.
