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

Students will need the trowels, seeds and pots to plant and grow their first plant, fruit or vegetable. I love watching the children's face light up as they discover the world of planting. And then, seeing their excitement at the first sign of growth.

Every child should have the chance to learn how to plant in the garden.

Learning how to grow is essential to life. Not only that, but it also builds their confidence when they can take care of a living plant and make it grow. They are curious about how things grow and what amazing plants there are to grow.

I would be so grateful if you help me obtain these items and nurture my students' curiosity.
