Help me give my students the opportunity to experience the Bronx Zoo great outdoors! The students will use their five senses to make observations and learn how animals use their senses for survival.

My Students
Every child has the ability to be successful in school, regardless of age, race, ability, or disability. I am a Pre-K teacher to my pod of amazing Pre-K students all of which have their own unique qualities, talents, and strengths. Many of my students come from low-income immigrant families. The students in my classroom also have their own unique set of challenges. They deserve a classroom that is conducive to their learning needs. This year, my eager-energetic Pre-K students enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore. For the past half a year, many of the children haven't had the opportunities to explore or to socialize, to interact nor learn how to use their social skills with other children or adults outside of their pod. I would like to have an opportunity to take my children on a virtual trip to the zoo. The zoo is a trip many families take their children to visit, in a normal year. Unfortunately, this year, a virtual trip is a safer opportunity to socialize and explore the outside.
My Project
During this excursion, students will meet an animal and make observations about how animals use their senses to explore their environment. The students will also get to participate in a dramatic play to explore different ways animals use their senses. Afterward, they will get to discuss how it's different from the ways they use their own senses.
This year, many families are being forced to make conscious decisions about taking their children on trips that were once second nature.
Students during the pandemic deserve the opportunity to experience the great outdoors and have fun. I want my students to have the opportunity to visit the Bronx Zoo even if it is not in person.
More than half of students from low‑income households
