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
My thirty-eight kindergarteners are in the Extended Foreign Language Spanish program at an elementary school in a low-income area in the heart of Miami, Florida, where ninety-eight percent of the students are Hispanic and more than eighty percent are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite their economic challenges, these fun-loving 5 and 6-year-olds are at that wonderful stage where they are eager to learn and are inquisitive.
My students are active, hands-on kids who love to learn through experience.
My Project
My students will decorate canvas tote bags to help the Earth. My students will become aware of how important our planet is because it is the only one we have. They will learn how they can become good citizens by taking care of Earth. They will be able to reduce trash by using a reusable canvas tote bag. At the end of the lesson and activity, my students will be able to educate their family and friends on how to reduce, reuse and recycle. This lesson will be one of my students remember and will never forget. They will be making a difference.
More than half of students from low‑income households
