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

We are a Title I school in a low socioeconomic neighborhood and 100% of students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many parents work two jobs and are barely able to support the family.

I have a bunch of awesome students who can't wait to come to school every day!

All my students are English language learners with no resources available at home. They often come to school without the supplies needed to be successful. Our school is a safe place for many of my students, where learning is a priority.

My Project

We have a garden at school that needs some love and care. I would like to start a Kid Garden Mentor program for my students. This program will led them to take care of a garden from the beginning of the school year to the end. Students will learn about gardening, science, cooking, and nutrition.

I will assign activities and lead my students through fun and hands-on activities that promote healthy and active living.

These garden activities will also focus on the next generation science standards. Students will learn how to use basic gardening tools. They will plant and tend to their own vegetables. The benches will allow student to sit and enjoy their beautiful garden.
