Scientists Hard At Work!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mangin's classroom raised $455

This project is fully funded

My Students

Please help my students learn about the world with these science resources.

I have a group of twenty five kindergarten students.

These children attend a kindergarten through fifth grade school. My kindergarteners begin the school year with basic knowledge and leave as high achievers. They love learning with hands on materials.

My Project

We will be using the greenhouses in the Spring to learn about the growth of a plant. The students will learn what will be needed in order to make our plant grow. The students will be learning about the life cycle of a butterfly in May. I would use the butterfly kit to show the students a realistic view of how a butterfly grows. I will be using the math centers to help review numbers with my struggling learners. I will be reading the life cycle books to my students to help them learn about how butterflies grow.

Please help my students achieve their science goals with the hands on materials.

The science books will help provide the students with their vocabulary and comprehension skills. In the past my students have observed the stages of the butterfly. They get so excited to see the real caterpillars turning into chrysalis and then into butterflies.
