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.
My Students
Do you ever think about where all the trash goes that we put in the garbage? Could some of the things we put in the trash converted into other resources?
My kids are from a small rural town in Texas.
We are learning about gardening and environmental factors that change our world. Although these kids are from a rural setting, many do not know about composting and the environment. Some of these students are learning disabled, others lack home supports, and some speak languages other than English at home.
My Project
I am requesting two types of worms, worm food, and habitats to teach the children about composting and helpful critters in the garden. Worms are small animals, but play a big role in our world. Bringing these supplies in the classroom will help students understand the importance of recycling items that would otherwise be thrown in the trash (such as food scraps and newspaper).
Help my kids learn hands out about this very unique ecosystem, and the role these decomposers play in helping out our environment.
I could tell them about it all day long, but when they get their hands on it...that's when the magic happens!
