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

My kindergartners are curious, talkative, full of questions, and have learned to be more aware and care about our Earth.

What we use and do matters!

We have learned about what things we can do to take care of Earth! They have asked, what else can we do? We have read about climate change and learned from it.

I would like to bring in more books with what other kids have done to help our environment to inspire!

I would also want to bring bamboo paper towels and cleaning spray that is better for our environment and us when we are cleaning our classroom and explain how that makes a difference too.
