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 eager to explore into the world of plants and I'd love to give them a hands-on learning experience. We need basic materials like planting pots, soil, and seed trays to make this exploration possible.

With your help, I hope each student will have the chance to witness the simple yet incredible journey of a seed growing into a plant.

The requested materials will enable our students to actively participate in planting, caring for, and observing the life cycle of different plants.

In addition, I would would like to give them a butterfly hatching habitat to observe the life cycle up close, and a few needed supplies for our classroom aquarium. My students' scientific curiosity will flourish through all these exciting activities! My second graders will gain a deeper understanding of plant and animal science while also developing important skills like responsibility, teamwork, and patience. I believe that fostering a connection with nature at a young age can instill a lasting appreciation for the environment!
