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

I have built a classroom community of learners, activists, and problem solvers. They are inquisitive and always looking for solutions to problems that arise in the classroom and our school.

This project will kick off a life-time of skills that will impact students by refocusing on the importance of taking care of our planet.

Students will learn about reducing waste, conserving resources, and protecting the environment in a hands-on and engaging manner.

The plants will teach students to take care of living things, the paint will be used to decorate a repurposed container, the paper shredder will teach about recycling and reusing paper, and the reusable snack bags are intended to initiate home education around reducing waste. In addition, the binoculars are intended to teach into nature and wildlife. In closing, it is my goal to expose my students and encourage a life-long passion to take care of our Earth.
