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

Taking care of our planet should not be celebrated on just one day a year. Our students can find small ways to help our planet every day. In this project, students will have an opportunity to learn about different environments and how everyday people (like themselves) can make a big impact on our environment's future. It would also allow them to learn about other environments around the world by utilizing the books and rug to identify climates different than theirs at home. This project will help me teach this important topic to my students now and for their future.

The new books will help me teach my students the importance of taking care of our planet Earth and each other.

Additionally, the rug provided through the funding will serve as a versatile asset in the classroom. The different seating options offered by the rug will cater to various learning preferences, ensuring that each student can find a spot that suits their needs while learning about the fascinating world of climate and environmental studies.
