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

Our students in our fourth grade level are dual language learners in English and Spanish. These students are special because they are willing to continue working in the garden. They provide positive classroom climate and they are models to other students. They validate each other efforts add achievement as community learners.

"if you have a garden and a library , you have everything you need.

"Marcus Tullious. This quote purposefully implement that our fourth graders collaborate, respect, and exhibit the importance of learning gardens.

My Project

Our 4th graders are long life learners and it is our school garden that will allowed them to design effective learning. These new tools will help them grow more food this year. Over the course of the year the tools will be use to sustain the garden, maintain the garden beds clean , the soil healthy and ready to support plant growth.

The garden provides a hands on experience in art, science and nature.

The cooking utensils will be use to prepare healthy snacks using our harvest fruits and vegetables These tools will assist and ensure our garden will be a success.
