I teach a dynamic group of fabulous kindergarten students in an extremely diverse school in New York. My students love reading funny stories, writing, poetry, creating art, exploring in science, learning new words, building, dancing, singing, playing math games, playing with puppets and learning new facts.
My class absolutely loves our beloved puppet, Chef Lotsa Words.
He cooks up sight words, poems, vocabulary words, and books each day in his "magic" pot. My students are funny, enthusiastic, inquisitive, compassionate and sweet.
My Project
My students are learning about composting with our new worm bin! We are also going to be participating in three gardening workshops in the spring in our school garden. I would love to enrich these learning experiences by bringing my class to an organic rooftop farm. They will learn about beekeeping, how chickens help fertilize the soil, composting, and they will learn about the different plants that the farm grows. They will get a chance to get their hands dirty picking lettuce. They will feed the lettuce to chickens. This is an experience that my city students will relish! They will also get an opportunity to try freshly picked produce. Hopefully, we will be able to donate some vermicompost from our worm bin to the farm!
Your donation will provide my students with an incredible hands-on learning experience.
This trip will enrich our gardening curriculum. You will provide a once in a lifetime opportunity for my students to become engaged with nature! Please support my students.
