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
Growing a garden is an opportunity for my students to have the chance to observe, explore, and experiment with planting to become their own gardeners. I have asked for plastic planters, gardening tools, gloves, and a variety of seeds for them to sow. Each child will have their own plant pot and saucer to fill with Miracle-Gro potting mix and seeds to start the planting process. They will monitor their plants weekly, eventually moving them outdoors and continuing to care for them. The students will also draw and label their plants as part of their learning experience.
Students learn best when they can have hands-on activities in and out of the classroom.
I want my students to become young botanists through their individual and collective plant experiments. I have also requested succulents and organic soil for the kids to try planting with trowels, allowing them to observe the differences in growth. I believe this hands-on experience will be valuable for them to understand the planting process and the development of plants. Additionally, a set of Sterilite 40 gal wheeled Industrial tote, Stackable Storage Bin with Latch Lid, and plastic container have been requested to easily transport their planting supplies. Ultimately, I hope my students will develop green thumbs and a love for gardening.
More than half of students from low‑income households
