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

My amazing students love coming to school every day. They take pride in their work and school environment.

This year for Earth Day, we will be learning about the parts and life cycle of plants.

What better way to learn about the importance of the role plants play in our world, then by planting our very own garden.

Students will learn the parts and cycles and learn to care for their very own plant. In the end of our learning, students will be giving their plants to their families and continue to care for them.

We appreciate your support and hope you can help us plant a seed.
