My Students
My second graders come to school full of energy and ready to conquer the world. My job is to keep them motivated and to develop critical thinkers. Each child learns differently, and part of my job is to find out how to reach them. Some are visual learners, some are auditory learners, and some learn by hands-on activities.
We need to figure out how to reach all learners.
My students are sweet and eager to learn. They are motivated and want to be successful students. They just need the opportunity.
My Project
We have owls on our school grounds. As you can guess, my students are fascinated by these birds, I want to take this teachable moment and show owl’s role in the food web by dissecting pellets and trying to identify prey based on bones. This project will enable my students to work together to dissect and identify the prey the owls have consumed. This will motivate my student to learn about the nature of science. They will have to work together, think, and solve the problem of the materials the owls would not be able to digest. This would be an awesome beginning of the year project!
