Celebrating 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.
I work with a wonderful group of kindergartners who are excited about school and look forward to learning new things every day. My school just opened its doors two years ago to many students who were moved because their neighborhood school was overcrowded.
With new beginnings, our school has very few materials and activities to help make the learning environment engaging for our students.
We are not a Title I school, so our funds are limited, and many of the activities I do in class and the materials I use have come out of my pocket.
Thank you!
My Project
Spring is here and new life is all around! In kindergarten we are beginning our study on plants and animals!
We will examine the needs and characteristics of living things through changes in simple life cycles.
I would love to have the frog, butterfly, ladybug, praying mantis and plant growing kits so that my students can experience these life cycles first hand. These real life kits will allow the students to learn about the basic needs of plants and animals as well as observe how the young resemble their parents. The students will then use the life cycle example kits in our growing science center to explore each of the life cycles, put them in order and record their observations. In addition to these life cycles we will be hatching chicks in our classroom. Having the 21 day chick eggs will help us learn all about the chicken as they grow inside the egg.
I would love to have these materials to keep their little minds inquiring and exploring the world around them.
