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

Using the Aerogarden provides students with the perfect opportunity to watch all stages of the growing process right in their classroom! Students will be able to watch plants go from seeds to mature fruits and vegetables. These are the same fruits and vegetables they might see at their local supermarkets!

Gardening is therapeutic and contributes to healthy development in children.

Working on projects such as growing a classroom garden, help promote team building, community, and communication in the classroom. Students are able to witness their plants growing every day! It will teach them responsibility because they will care for their garden by watering, adding plant food, and monitoring for dead leaves!

Aerogarden gives them access to something they might not have otherwise given that most students live in apartments and do not have the same opportunities as those students who might live in a house. Students will have the priceless opportunity of creating their own garden and reaping what they sew throughout the year in the most rewarding way!
