My Students

As a teacher in a low-income district, my main focus for my students is to give them the best learning environment possible. Many of the students in our school get free lunch and receive free school supplies from the local community. I want my students to come to a classroom that fosters learning. We have some of the brightest children in our school system, and I just want to give them the best education possible no matter their background. Every child deserves the best and every child is able to learn!

My Project

It is never too early to learn about the cycle of insects and animals! My students are young kindergarten students that are beginning to grasp early science concepts such as the life cycle of butterflies, ants, and animals. These are the basic skills they need to master in order to expand their knowledge in earth science.

The materials in this project will enhance my students’ science skills through highly engaging and interactive activities.

The Butterfly nursery, and the ant farm will teach students the life cycle. The easy view specimens, science viewers, animal xrays, animal tracks and hands on science specimens will allow students to see some different insects. Then the life cycle sequence kit and the theme box will allow students to see the life cycle of the butterflies, frogs and chickens. Finally, the butterfly coupons will allow us to get some butterflies for the year. While learning these science concepts, I will be able to teach my students about the life cycle and the early concepts. Thank you for your help and contribution to ensure my students a bright financial future!
