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.
My school district is a title 1 district and a lot of the students haven't had the ability to have a classroom pet until my classroom. So it amazes them the first day they come through the door and it also allows the students to start bonding with them.
My student population at my school site is English Language Learners, Foster Children, and low poverty students.
So giving them the ability to see these animals closeup is some of the most exciting things to happen to them that day. The Tortoises bred and had eggs. It would be great to have a new incubator so the students can see the eggs hatch.
My Project
My goal is to have the students see the eggs hatch that my reptiles produce in the classroom. This would also possibly allow my students to be able to have a chance to take home a new pet. I have a pair of breeding tortoises and snakes. They lay eggs on a regular basis and it would be really cool to allow a close up of how genetics works. it would also give them a chance to possibly be able to take home a new pet if parent approval is there. Please give my classroom the needed supplies to make that happen.
