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

My kinder students are eager and curious to learn. Some of my students are learning to read, write, and count, while some of their classmates are learning to imitate sounds or hold a pencil. They are exploring the world and doing the best they can in the circumstances we find ourselves.

My Project

As we go through a challenging year, unfortunately, we are unable to go on field trips and enjoy the beautiful world we live in. To represent the wonders of the earth we would like to begin a grade level KINDer GARDEN! The garden will represent the big family we are and the kindness we can bring to everyone by helping our earth be a greener place. As we plant, we will embody the importance of giving back to Mother Earth by being kind and feeding her with the right nutrients.
