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 year 7th-grade students at RCMS are learning about plastic pollution through our anchor text Trash Vortex by Danielle Smith-Llera. My pupils were fascinated by how plastic products and improper disposal impact our environment, and even our physical health. We have been inspired to take action, and each Friday, our class ventures outside to clean up our campus.

This project includes sustainable and recyclable items to encourage everyday recycling among students and staff here at River City: we hope to begin a recycling club for a school-wide community service initiative next year!

Gloves, masks, and bags are needed when we clean outside. The various sizes and quantities of recycle bins are to encourage our 7th-grade pod to recycle all day, not just during English classes. Large bins will be for student volunteers to gently rinse items before packing for transport to local county recycling areas since our school yet has a recycling program. A can crusher is also needed to make aluminum items more compact per local recycling facilities' requests. Sustainable cleaning products to reduce waste from disinfectant wipes to sanitize our desks, and reduce grime from pre-rinsed recyclables in the smaller bins.

Prizes included in our class competition have also been intentionally chosen to reduce plastic waste which ends up in landfills! The paper punch cards will track student progress to earn their eco-friendly reward. Additionally, recyclable aluminum cups and permanent markers to identify students who forget their reusable cups at home for our water fountain.

BONUS: the fountain in our building also reduces plastic waste and helps us track how many plastic bottles have been avoided!

Thank you in advance for supporting my emerging environmental enthusiasts!
