PS 86k Stile 3.0 Conserving Green Spaces

Help me give my students the necessary materials to research and create a podcast about green spaces in different communities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Torchia's classroom raised $1,108

This project is fully funded

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 Project

Second-grade students at PS86k are going to explore different communities (urban, suburban and rural), as well as learn about conversation. They will create a podcast that will present their opinions on green spaces in different communities. This project will allow them to conduct the research necessary for their podcasts.

The materials provided through Donor's Choose will help students not only to conduct their research, but to create their podcast as well.

Students will work hard to research, write and present their ideas about conserving green spaces in all different communities.
