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

"Recycling is vital for cleaning up the environment and keeping our communities clean. By reusing recycled items to produce new products we reduce the impact we have on mother nature." I plan to engage my 3rd graders in a clean up and recycling unit of study throughout the remainder of the school year. It is my hope to team up each of my fourth graders with a 5th grade buddy in order to engage in a series of clean up days as well as recycling, reusing and reducing activities. After exposing my kiddos to a series of lessons and presentations, I plan to have my kiddos brainstorm ideas in collaboration with and including all students and design flyers intended to recruit fifth grade buddies. These flyers will then be printed using the requested ink and passed out to fifth graders in order to create recycling and clean up teams. It is my goal to have each team of 3rd/5th graders engage in clean up activities throughout the school on a weekly basis in order to motivate the entire school population to engage in Reduce/Reuse/Recycle activities. Additionally, as a theme culminating activity near the end of the school year, I hope to gather all teams and have them collaborate on making creative Reduce/Reuse/Recycle projects to display in our school's media center using the glue and existing materials after which the kiddos will have a small celebration sharing the requested snacks and existing beverages.
