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

Our class will be learning about the importance of taking care of nature, they will experience the importance and hard work in planting and harvesting in addition to the beauty of wildlife and the benefit from growing their own fruits and vegetables.

With these materials my students will have the opportunity to plant and harvest their own fruits and vegetables and will see the impact they possess to make a difference in the world.

We need your help in acquiring these bird feeders, seeds, plant growing kits and other materials to enhance the hands-on learning experience in our classroom.
