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 sixth grade students are currently completing their "Environmental Sustainability" unit in science class. We are learning ways to go green, which of course includes the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than by adding separate recycling bins to each of the sixth grade classrooms!

Recycling paper and plastic water bottles is a simple way to help reduce the amount of waste that heads for the landfill. It will also teach our students strong recycling habits that they can continue at home. Teaching our students sustainability skills now will help ensure the future of our planet!
