Celebrating 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 students come from diverse backgrounds; some of them come with physical and emotional issues. About 96% of the students at my campus receive free lunch. We are a Hispanic dominant population, with English as a second language. We are a leader in me school, and we believe every student has a little leader inside of them.
Hurricane Harvey brought devastation to our city, and some of these scholars are slowly getting back to normal.
Our campus faces a lot of challenges this school year, and I would love to have more hands on activities for my little scientists. Shearn is located in the heart of a beautiful community. I would love to bring this community together one crop at a time.
My Project
Our shearn elementary garden has seen better days, this school semester we were able to give it a makeover. Our garden beds have been raised, and our beds have been filled with soil. We are now in need of materials to tend to our beautiful outdoor environment. Having a hose, and a watering wand will help keep our crops hydrated. The gloves will keep our hands safe, and help put some beautiful plants in the ground. We are so excited to get planting, and reaping the fruits of our hard labor. For this to be possible our plants need to be protected, the mesh will help keep bugs, and birds from crawling and feeding. Our indoor compost viewer will help make connections with our outdoor bins, they will provide a visual of the process for my visual learners. We are also working on patience, and kindness towards each other, and mother earth. Having an outdoor learning space creates a sense of belonging and pride. My students will be exposed to new skills they have never been exposed to, and an experiences that will bring fruitful rewards in the end. Our project will also bring community, and parent involvement to our school. Our campus culture will be transformed with the start of this project.
