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

Earth Day is a major celebration at our school, where students engage in hands-on activities, discussions, and projects that highlight the importance of protecting our planet. To make this day even more special, we are requesting air fryers, blenders, and a toaster oven to make Earth Day-themed smoothies and cookies. Our students will be making a smoothie called Ultimate Earth Day and will consist of blueberries, kiwifruit, and spinach.

This project aims to create an immersive Earth Day experience that fosters a love for reading and environmental awareness.

By providing snacks alongside reading, students will associate learning about the environment with a moment of joy and community, encouraging them to actively protect our planet. We will also celebrate Earth Day by planting seeds and watch them grow.
