Earth Day Excitement

My students need the bird feeder, hummingbird feeder, and lady bug/bee house to invite nature to our campus so they can learn more about pollinators and how they help our environment.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The community around our school can be turbulent, but our students see their school as a safe space and the library is one of their favorite spaces at school. Teachers also enjoy bringing their classes to the library to work on assignments and pick out materials.

Our students learn best through hands-on activities.

If they can see it and do it, they will have a better understanding of the topics being taught. Sadly, our school is in a socially economically disadvantaged area and our students often do not get to see a lot of the world outside their neighborhood. They are interested in learning more about many different topics, but often don't have the resources at home to research those topics.

My Project

Our students live in an urban setting and do not have a lot of exposure to the gardening and the benefits of insects. I want them to be able to see a bee and not be afraid! I also want them to enjoy being outdoors and maybe find a new hobby.

The project will help our students see how pollinators are necessary to produce crops and flowers.

Our school has a small garden and adding the bee house and hummingbird feeder will be a great way for students to have a positive interaction with pollinators and hopefully not be afraid and see how plants cannot function without bees, bugs, and hummingbirds.
