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

For our science unit, we will be learning the importance of recycling and learning the different ways to take better care of our immediate environment. What can WE do better to take care of our Mother Earth and her giving land, oceans, and air? We will begin our unit by doing research on the different kinds of pollution, and continue on to learn about some solutions to solve this problem! Students will then make a campaign to raise awareness around our school! They will create informational booths, brochures, and hand out buttons that support their campaign! Students will teach other students on our campus about pollution and how they can help solve this problem.

Our class needs books on pollution, recycling, and a button maker to help raise awareness of the various kinds of pollution and solutions to this problem!

The solution to the various kinds of pollution begins with educating our students NOW as this help them be cautious members of society! Let's save Mother Earth by educating our youth!
