My students need owl pellets for the opportunity to see science come alive in the classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Davide's classroom raised $285
This project is fully funded
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.
My Students
My name is Regina Davide. I am a fourth grade teacher in the Bronx. My students love to learn. Hands on activities are there favorite especially when science is involved. Unfortunately my students live in a high poverty area, opportunities aren't as great as in other communities throughout the US. Many of my students receive free or reduced lunch, and there home life isn't that great. Coming to school is one of the most consistent parts of their life. With your help and support, my student would be able to participate in a hands on, engaging activity.
My Project
I would love the chance to buy owl pellets for my students. When I was in elementary school we had the opportunity to dissect animals and it is still something that I remember today. It was such a hands on experience that it was hard to forget, including the awful smell! My students would love being able to break apart the owl pellet. This experience would really connect each one of them with nature. They will use their findings to determine exactly what the owl ate. The students might find rodent, mole, birds, and shrew body parts. They can find skulls, ribs, limbs, and even the vertebrate. This project will help science come alive for the students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
