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

One of my goals as an educator is to create S.T.E.A.M. learning experiences for my students throughout the year. As we enter spring, I am wanting to bring plant growing into my classroom by giving students an opportunity to learn about sunflower growth cycle and gardening.

I am seeking mini planters, sunflower seeds, misting bottles, and soil to bring to life a growing experience for my students.

Each student will be given a planter and seeds to grown their very own sunflower. Over the month, we will track growth, create diagrams, and adjust humidity within the planters (a neat feature that comes with these specific pots) to learn science in a more meaningful, hands-on experience. Every 5th grader will then take their sunflower home at the end of our unit.
