Help me give my students the experience of truly adapting our classroom learning environment to learn about an array nocturnal animals and their habitats.
I work at a school where 61% of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch. My class is an integrated prekindergarten room, which consists of students aged three to five years old. The class consists of 30% students who have Individualized Education Plans. The students are learning through investigation, exploration, and building their curiosity through a science-based curriculum every day. Their success is vibrant through their dedication, perseverance, and above all their smiles through the numerous unit-learning projects we have completed. Some ending projects include creating a “save the millipedes” video that was broadcast on our daily news to the whole school, to working with Scholastic Books to publish a book about “Building Around the World.” My ultimate goal is to build every student's love for learning, and to keep enriching my students’ lives to help assist them in building the best educational foundation I can.
My Project
My students are in love with learning about animals. From animals they have seen at the ocean, animals in the zoo, to nocturnal animals which we do not get to see, my students are eager and desire to learn more about these animals.
I want to give my students the most hands-on experience to learn about their favorite nocturnal animals by transforming their learning environment to inspire their interests and learning.
Through a research based exploration project involving library visits, technology, and an array of questions to answer, my students will gain a full understanding of nocturnal animals and their habitats. Using Realistic Looking Animals Toys Set, 3" Realistic Animals for Zoo, and UV LED Black Strip Lights my students will have the opportunity to be full immersed in their learning experience of their favorite nocturnal animals.
