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.

How did that get on my plate? The students at my title one school have no idea where their food comes from. My third grade students would love to learn about farms by visiting one.

Many of my children have no clue where their food comes from. The store is the answer, not the ground. My students need to learn about where their food comes from. A visit to an award winning farm will help the children watch the process of cheese making, collecting eggs, and organic gardening.

I will use this trip as the pinnacle event in a "farm to table" unit. This science/literature unit will include the reading of E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, a class garden, and a study of our food choices.

There is NO WAY I could afford to take my children on the life altering trip without the very generous help of donors like you. It is simply out of reach for my students, many of whom are living under the poverty line. In the age of fast food, imagine the impact a small herd of country kids could make on my city kids.
