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

Creating a clean and healthy classroom environment for my students is important not only for their health, but also for their mental well being. If the children are surrounded by nature's beauty, for example, flowers and plants, they will feel a sense of calmness.

By providing my students with plants and cute watering spikes for the plants to decorate the classroom, they will be enjoying the beauty of nature while breathing in clean air.

These plants will help purify our classroom air, naturally. Since we are in the classroom the majority of the day, being able to look at plants surrounding them, might help them feel a sense of serenity.
