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 Project
Children in the Big Apple do not always get the chance to see nature up close. Children must be made aware of the interdependence on the planet of all species. The problem is my students do not always get the opportunity to experience nature. I want to give them this opportunity.
I have been noticing that many students who are coming to school for the first time do not have a lot of prior knowledge when it comes to nature.
My goal is to reveal to them the basic laws of nature and the risks to our planet posed by mankind.
My other goal is to keep the children engaged and interested in learning. If I can keep the children engaged, I believe I will keep their interest which will lead to a strong foundation in early childhood science.
I am requesting a virtual experience conducted by the Alley Pond Environmental Center that will make nature come alive.
Through this experience, we will learn about different animals. The children will see nature come to life via zoom. They will learn so much from animals and their habitats to preserving their planet. This experience will help enrich our Pre-K program. Please help us to explore science right here in our classroom. This would be an experience the children would never forget.
The seeds of scientific intrigue must be planted early so that students can encounter the laws of nature. This experience would enrich my teaching and give the students experiences that go considerably beyond the picture, pencil and paper activities.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
