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 Students

We are a fourth grade, integrated, co-teaching classroom. Our students are an enthusiastic group who are learning life lessons! There are two teachers in our classroom, a special education teacher and a general education teacher. We also have wonderful support staff in and out of our room all day.

We have thirty-two, super motivated, fourth-grade students who love to learn.

Our environment is made up of a community of learners who love to explore new ideas. We are so happy and love to learn!

My Project

Fourth grade does a lot of work learning about civic responsibility. The students created project ideas to give back to their community.

One project idea was to start a community garden with inspirational messages all around the garden.

The students want to buy enough seeds so that people can take some and bring them back to their homes. This project will take a lot of supplies and time. We are so eager to begin. We want the students to really make a difference in the world. We believe this project will help show them the wonder of helping others. Please help us get the supplies we need for this project. Thank you.
