Kindergarten students are so amazing! That is why I have named my class the Amazing Kinders! We are working this year to build our reading and math skills, and our awareness of the big world around us.
My students come from a wide variety of cultures and languages.
Currently, our school has 41 different languages being spoken! It is very special for students to interact and learn from each other. While they are so different, they are also very much the same. Kids love science and we want to experience life firsthand!
My Project
In the spring my Kindergarten students will begin exploring the science of life. We will be creating our own aquarium with real water plants and live fish to see how animals live in their natural habitat and how eggs hatch into birds. We will be following the Next Generation Science Standards to gain a strong foundation in what happens in the world around us.
Real-life observation of animals gives students an understanding that they cannot gain from text or video alone.
We want to watch the fish and plants in our aquarium interact with each other and learn how important a habitat is to any animal, including humans.
We will also be hatching chicken and duck eggs in the classroom. Students will learn how to care for an egg, how to take care of chicks and ducklings, and what happens to them once they mature.
Nothing compares to experiencing something first hand and I want to provide that for my students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
