Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

One of my goals for my students is to develop a love and passion for learning and develop a desire to ask and answer questions.

I teach kindergarten to fifth grade Science, which is over 360 students.

My students are so eager to learn new things and have new experiences. My school is in an inner city district which consistently has budget cuts. My school tries to support the teachers in whatever we need; however, the money is not there to do what is necessary.

My Project

The materials in this project will be used throughout the 6 grade levels. Kindergarten and first grade focuses on plants and animals and living things, in which the different insects and plants will be used. First grade also learns about life cycles and the frog life cycle will be amazing for them to actually see these stages. The third grade life science focus is on insects and they will also be using the live insects. The fifth graders will learn about food chains and webs and will participate in dissecting the owl pellets.

I believe it is up to me, the science educator, to provide as many experiences to the students as possible.

I know these materials will make a huge impact on their Life Science experience and make it lifelong.
