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 students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day.

I strive to help them become the best version of themselves.

I want them to persevere, to change their mindset, to believe in themselves, and to know that their education is so important.

From the moment they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. It is my goal to inspire the earliest learners to continue on the path of academic excellence in a creative and positive way.

My Project

We need a science set and owl pellets. My students will dissect an owl pellet and determine what the owl ate. They will analyze the bones and other artifacts inside the owl pellet to draw conclusions about the owl's food web.

Children learn much more by doing than by being told.

In the real world, science is hands-on, involving exploration and lots of trial and error. Science is not reading textbook passages. In my classroom, I strive to provide real life, hands-on science learning experiences for our students. The materials I am requesting will help me provide such experiences.

These materials will allow my students to engage in an owl pellet lab where they will dissect owl pellets and draw conclusions about an owl's food web. I can't wait for my little scientists to have the opportunity to study and learn about these amazing creatures!
