My students are a group of young artists! They love art, science, social science lessons, hands-on activities, exploring, and creating unique artworks with words and ideas. There are 40 wonderful second graders in my dual language classes who spend half of their day in an English-speaking classroom and the other half in a Mandarin-speaking classroom. They love creative math lessons and hands-on STEM activities. They work very hard every day and study all subjects in both languages according to Common Core Standards, as well as Next Generation Science Standards.
My Project
My project focuses on environmental protection. Students will first study the importance of protecting our earth, and 6 different habitats as follows: deserts, farms, forests, oceans, ponds, and rainforests in both English and Mandarin. Next, they will choose one of the habitats to complete a research report. The sheet protectors and stapler will be used to preserve their academic work. Furthermore, allowing students to use multiple color markers will help them create and record their thinking process. The marker holders will be used for the class whiteboard, in order to allow students' creativity to be more quickly recorded and shared. Then, they will participate in hands-on activities that produce a painting connected to the concept of environmental science and protecting different habitats by using the caverns panels. We will use images of different habitats that we will print out from our classroom printer, in order to stimulate interest in the six habitats and support students in completing their projects.
My students love learning about science and the world around them.
This project will make them more environmentally sensitive and develop an understanding of how to protect various habitats. Afterwards, they will use less plastic bags, recycle water bottles, and consume less plastic products.
