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

We are so very excited to begin our new unit on plants. We are unfortunately lacking the necessary materials to get started and continue with our study. Please help us to begin our journey into plants. We want to get our hands dirty and explore with dirt and seeds and and all that our imagination holds. We would love to plant a garden of Pansies, Daffodils, and Daisies, just like the protagonist in Eve Buntings story "Flower Garden," and have everyone look up at us in AWE!!. Here we are with our beautiful garden we grew it, oh yes we did it! We are four and proud of our garden.
