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

The kindergarteners and first graders at my school are diving into life cycles! We would like to provide our students with the opportunity to watch life develop before their eyes. What an amazing experience it would be to see a life cycle unfold before their eyes!

Our students come from a variety of backgrounds in a tight knit neighborhood.

Our students have limited experience with rural life and we would like to provide a hands on experience with a real world connection. Through this experience you will help us provide, our students will develop a better, first hand understanding of the first stages in a life cycle.

My Project

With these four Egg Incubators and LED Light Egg Candler Tester our classrooms will be able to experience first hand the beginning stages of a chicken's life cycle. Our students will be able to observe, discuss and journal about what they are experiencing in the classroom. Through watching the chicken's life cycle unfold the students will be able to make connections to other life cycles such as frogs and butterflies. Students will also be able to take responsibility for another living thing, including what a chicken needs to survive. At this young age students will get to experience hands-on how to care for a living thing.

Through funding this project our students will experience a once in a lifetime lesson first hand.

This project also reinforces our school wide behavior system which encourages students to take responsibility while focusing on the power of their positive choices.
