My students need 6 Amazing Bugs Kits to learn about ants, ladybugs, butterflies, and praying mantises.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Calvo's classroom raised $255
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Seeing is believing! Seeing is LEARNING! That's one of the best ways my students learn. When they each have a living creature to care for and observe daily, they will learn about the fragility of life and the amazing miracles that occur in nature.
I have the pleasure of teaching a group of enthusiastic 2nd graders who have a thirst and excitement for scientific knowledge.
Their favorite subject is science and they find any opportunity to learn about the natural world around us. We are a K-5 school in Hollywood. Most of the students come from socio-economically disadvantaged, immigrant families.
My Project
My class loves science. Unfortunately, there's little time in the day and few resources to bring scientific knowledge to life. Hands-on learning is the best and most exciting way to acquire content in the limited time we have. With these kits we can study the ladybug and butterfly life cycles, as well as learn about the ecological benefits and behaviors of other insects like ants and praying mantises.
We all know that school budgets are getting smaller and unique learning opportunities like this one cost money.
My school cannot fund such a project, however small it may seem. I know I can't fund this project out-of-pocket either. I am sincerely hoping that I can get the funding, so that students can have a valuable, rich, learning experience that will stay in their memories for a lifetime.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
