My students need 1 butterfly pavilion, 3 microscopes, 2 butterfly puzzles, 1 butterfly felt set, 1 replacement certificate and 1 butterfly life cycle kit.
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.
Hi, I am a kindergarten teacher at an Elementary school. I want to be able to buy science materials for my kindergarten students. The students who attend our school are mostly English Language Learners from low socio-economic backgrounds who have never been exposed to any type of science activity.
In Kindergarten we teach the life cycle of the butterfly extensively. I want to be able to expose my students to this curriculum with all the resources and realia that I possibly can. I want them to be able to do a lot of hands-on activities and exploration. In essence, I want them to become little scientists.
For these projects, I need microscopes, puzzles, life cycle sets, a butterfly pavilion, felt sets and a butterfly life cycle learning center. In Kindergarten we collaborate so all 67 students would have access to these materials and be able to use them.
I truly believe that all children have the capacity to learn and explore and having these resources would facilitate this learning and expose them to projects that they probably will never be exposed to in their own home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
