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

Our students are now Farmer Scientists and are working hard in our very own Hydroponic Lab! With the use of your generous donation, my students will be able to photograph and sketch like artists. My students will be able to document their plant observations using different modalities. Utilizing a camera and sketching will give students the opportunity to record their observations at different stages of the plant life cycle.

Providing students with opportunities to make observations through a different lens will help stretch their critical thinking skills.

This project will support our students in obtaining, evaluating, and communicating their observations.
