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

My students love to learn! They also love to get their hands dirty. What better way to do both than to learn all about plants? My students are special because they are eager to try new things. Living in the city, it is rare that they get the chance to play with dirt, grow something on their own, or eat something they grew with their own hands. That's why I want them to have this opportunity.

I think giving my students the opportunity to learn about and grow their own plants will give them a new, exciting insight into the beauty of nature.
