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

In my classroom, my students have been fascinated by plants. By receiving these materials, I will be able to show my students what is necessary for plants to grow, and how quickly or slowly they grow.

Hands-on learning will help them to fully grasp the concept of growing plants, and leave them with the skills necessary to grow their own plants at home with their families!

By funding this incredible project, you will get to be a part of a truly incredible learning experience for my students. Please consider donating to our Earth Day Project!
