Bye Bye Covid-19: Class of 2026 Will Dissect

Help me give my students preserved specimens like fetal pigs and frogs to dissect because the pandemic took that away from them.

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

I love the diversity of my students. Their uniqueness brightens my day and there is never a dull moment. I love the culture my students are building in the classroom. They are helpful with their peers, and they are learning to self-regulate their learning.

My students work hard and give it one hundred percent effort!

My students are loving, and very energetic.

My Project

My students ask me every week if they will be able to dissect this year since they were not able to due to the pandemic of 2020. Students look forward to dissecting in seventh grade. My eighth graders can have an opportunity to experience hands-on dissections and make real-world connections with human anatomy.

My students will gain so much from this experience to enhance their learning and even help discover future scientists.

The dissecting will take place at the end of the school year. Regular science students will dissect a frog and my advanced science students will dissect a fetal pig.
