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 are truly exceptional! They work hard to succeed. They persevere when faced with a challenge, creatively inspire our community, and believe in one another. They are tomorrow's leaders and world-changers. They are our future and together we can help them reach their dreams.

My students are energetic, smart, and motivated to succeed.

Even though they come from a variety of backgrounds of race, religion, academic levels, and family structure, we all work together to create a unique learning experience, instilling a love of learning and exploring that will last a lifetime. Many of my students' parents work multiple jobs and are unable to attend school events; therefore, parents are missing out on their students' successes.

Our school garden was just remodeled. It has become one of the most important places in our school. It is the first and last place students see when they come to school as they get on and off the bus. It is a an area where students can grow, learn, relax, and have fun. We even have a friendship rock garden too.

We are really working on STEM and how we impact he world around us. Due to the Texas heat, our garden needs watering systems to help maintain the plants in an easy and sustainable way. These watering systems will help our new garden beds be maintained and be easily sustainable. We also need a splitter and small hose so that it is not disconnected daily for custodial use. We also want to show off everything we have learned in STEM, the signs are for students to demonstrate their learning.
