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

Learning about plants and planting is a perfect way to end our school year! My students are passionate about taking care of the Earth and about all living things around them. We have worked really hard all year learning about our planet and how children can make an impact and have their voice heard. Planting will be a fun way to teach ecological literacy and respect for the Earth. We are ready to get our hands dirty and begin planting.

Studies show that when children dig in and begin planting they have improved moods, better learning experiences and decreased anxiety.

"Gardening is all about trusting in what the future holds"
