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.
Our campus is in the heart of Dallas, Texas. My classroom of kids are very loving students that enjoy spending time outdoors. They have been learning how the environment provides for them. They are very eager to do any part to take care of our planet Earth. Our school is a Title I school serving approximately 380 students in PK-5th grades. The population is 79% Hispanic, 14% African-American, and 7% of other ethnic backgrounds. The majority of our students come from economically disadvantaged homes with many of our families living on the edge of poverty living in apartments.
It is thrilling to see the smiles of our students after realizing their accomplishments after hard work.
My Project
After planting a small garden with my individual class I would love to share their excitement with the entire school. I would love to see all our students feel pride in their hard work that comes with planting a garden. Our students face hard challenges when it comes to grasping science concepts because of their limited exposure of nature. With the materials requested they can germinate their own seeds and watch them grow into plants while learning about a plant's life cycle. A garden will also help them learn the power of water and wind, erosion, and the water cycle.
Our students can also learn how to care of something besides themselves.
