Growing Education

Help me give my students the opportunity to garden. My students learn best when the lessons are hands on. By providing us with garden tools, we will be able to coordinate indoor lessons with real life experiences.

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 Students

I teach a multiple disabilities/ language learning disability high school class. My focus for my students is to learn independent living skills. Examples of lessons from this school year include counting money, reading schedules, determining elapsed time, geography, American government, and life science.

In addition to academics, I strive to teach my students through community-based instruction.

Having a garden will give my students the opportunity to grow their own food and learn a skill that will be helpful for possible hobbies or careers.

My Project

By providing my classroom with garden tools my students will be given the opportunity to grow their own herbs and vegetables. Many of my students live on the outskirts of the suburbs, which means they have not had the experience to garden and be part of nature. In addition, my students are classified with learning disabilities and in a self-contained setting.

Giving us the ability to have a garden will give my students new skills and experiences that they may not otherwise have.

We will link our indoor lessons of nutrition, food prep, and life science to what we are doing outdoors. These students learn best hands on and having a garden to call their own will help them to feel successful.
