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.
Children, teach them to be kind to animals and they will grow up to also be kind to people. Teaching science allows me to bring animals into my classroom for my students to interact with. This opportunity is very important for adolescence since it allows them to learn compassion and responsibility.
My students are such remarkable, incredible, and hardworking individuals.
They are a very diverse group, and represent a variety of socio-economic levels, academic abilities, nationalities, and more. They have assorted backgrounds and and some live in homes where meeting their basic needs is a daily struggle. When students come into my classroom, I want them to be able to learn and thrive in an environment where they feel safe and cared for. A simple act of kindness and compassion can go a long way.
My Project
Many of my students live in areas where they cannot have pets. Having a hands-on experience with a live animal and being able to observe a live animal bring students closer to the natural world. This experience can be life changing, and expand a student's curiosity about the world around them! Simple life lessons like caring for other organisms or protecting the environment can be learned. Having a living animal may sound like a small thing, but it has the potential to open up the door to amazing conversations about loving our planet, each other, and ourselves!
My students are excited to create a forest wonderland for their beloved gecko. This will include basic bedding and a nice warm basking rock for him to snooze on during those lazy days. A rock cave will allow him a cozy place to relax in during the night and the many habitat decoration will make him feel like the luckiest and most loved gecko in town.
I love giving my students a chance to interact with hands-on materials and manipulatives.
By allowing my students to create a terrarium ecosystem where they can study and interact with live animals, you are expanding, not only their minds, but also their hearts. Thank you so much giving my students the opportunity to learn, grown, and love.
