Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

My classroom of 20 first graders is full of excitement, learning, and laughter! We are an inner city school in a low income area and our students come from many diverse backgrounds. Our school is an extended learning time school, which means that we attend school for 100 extra minutes per day. The day can be long and tiring but my students work hard and give 100%.

Our school is full of twenty first century learners!

Teachers are responding by using technology daily to engage students and make sure they are college and career ready .

My Project

We would like to witness the life cycle of a chicken from egg to chick in our classroom! We are requesting an incubator, eggs and supplies in order to safely hatch chicks right before our first grade eyes!

First graders study life cycles and what better way to learn than to observe the actual process!

We are ready to use hands-on and inquiry based learning to really grasp the life cycle of a chicken.

My students will get to monitor the eggs daily while we research and observe the changes taking place. We are so excited to be able to try a "hands on" approach to life cycles.
