Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Our school is situated in an urban setting, and our middle school students are excited about science. I am interested in channeling this excitement into a thirst for environmental education.

I am ready to challenge my students to become stewards of their environment!

Our school is located on a large piece of property, which contains a field of approximately eight acres. I hope to encourage my students to become environmentally aware through on-site and off-site field trips. My students are excited about the projects that we plan to complete, and hopefully, through DonorsChoose.org, we can get the materials we need for these experiences!

My Project

The materials I am requesting will allow my students to make observations about birds and butterflies, and to work to take pride in their school and their community, The students will be using the materials, along with seeds provided by Cornell University to plant and maintain a bird and butterfly wildflower garden outside of our window.

While working to create a wildflower garden, the students will learn how their urban environment is a natural habitat for many plants and animals.

The students will use field guides to identify wildflowers, butterflies and birds. They will use the speaker I requested to practice recognizing bird calls by ear, and they will watch DVDs to learn how to identify raptors (as we attend a Hawkfest event each fall) as well as field and forest birds. As we will be visiting a wildlife reserve, I will also be purchasing a DVD to help in identification of shore birds and wetland birds.
