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

This project will provide my students with the opportunity to experience something they have studied. It will give them a chance to show they can be responsible. Experience is the best teacher, and this will give them a new one that they will remember.

The goal of this project is to put some science into action and experience something special.

We want to grow our own wildflowers with a greenhouse, nursery pots, and other materials. We want to see in real-life what we have studied in our text and online.

My students are the best class in the best grade (1st). They love to come to school. They have a real desire to learn all they can. I try to make everyday fun and memorable. This project will be something tangible and hands on that they will always remember. They will also be able to share them with their families and the school.
