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

I teach in a low-income, high-mobility school that is Title I. This means all of our children receive free breakfast and lunch during the school day. We have a diverse population and serve children and families from many different cultures.

The students at our school are sweet and crave positive interactions and for someone to show a genuine interest in them.

They are eager to learn new things and love to share what they have learned with others. These students need positive role models in their lives to introduce them to the wonders of the world around them.

My Project

In order for my students to really have an understanding of environmental science, they must first understand the interconnections of life cycles and what it means to care for other living beings. Learning to care for the earth will come alongside an understanding of what is happening in the world around them.

"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." - Confucius.

These plants will be used in each team for my students to study the growth and development of plants in different habitats we have been studying and will eventually be put in our butterfly pavilion in the spring.
