My students need live butterfly and frog habitats in our classroom to experience and watch how living organisms grow and change throughout the life cycle. We also need an aquarium.

Celebrating 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.
Help us learn about life cycles by watching living organisms grow and change in our classroom! We will be teaching about life cycles of organisms next semester and hope our children will be able to experience these life cycles first hand in our classroom.
I have two preschool classes (one AM and one PM) that consist of three, four and five year-olds.
All of my students meet the criteria to be labeled as an at-risk student by the state (e.g., live in poverty, English is not their first language, family has been referred to SRS, has an identified disability, etc.). All of our seven classrooms in our school are early childhood classrooms and our goal is to prepare these students with the skills and knowledge to be ready to learn when they walk into their kindergarten classrooms in the fall.
My Project
By using these materials in my classroom, my students will be able to experience first hand how a living organism changes and grows in the life cycle. These materials will create an authentic learning experience for all my students. In addition to looking at pictures in books, my students will have an actual live organism moving through the life cycle in their classroom. I hope to have my students record what they see throughout the organisms’ life cycle in their journals, while referring back to non-fiction books of illustrations of the different stages of the life cycle.
These materials will help my students to have an authentic learning experience in our classroom.
They will be excited about learning about the life cycles and anticipate watching the organism change and grow everyday at school.
