My students need a butterfly habitat, bird feeder, beehive, flower seeds, soil, water cans, pots, etc. for pollination of plants production of crops, and the sustainability of bees, birds, and butterflies.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The Tiger students are unique because they learn daily from a curriculum that is S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) based. In spite being taught from what most people would call a rigorous elementary curriculum, these students are eager to take on just about any challenge. Imagine beating the odds daily as you arrive to school somewhat late but expected to learn minus being hungry, sleepy, and emotionally challenged. These at-risk scholars are determined and they fight daily to make their life dreams a reality.
Based on my students' drive to excel and beat the odds, they have been termed 21st Century STEM (scholarly, talented, energetic, and magnanimous) scholars.
The school and community have instilled in each of our scholars a hunger and desire to excel unlike those before them. These scholars are aware that they must excel through their education and therefore become a beacon of a new life of change. As high as the expectations are, these STEM scholars must set precedence to not only their families but to the community that educational failure is not an option for the future generation of STEM scholars.
My Project
Just like Tom’s of Maine, it is our school mission to take care of the planet through teaching environmental science to the next generation. In doing so, we are training future S.T.E.M. scientists and environmental conscious students how to respect and become environmentally aware human beings. Through receiving grant funding, this project will teach students about environmental science through completing hands-on projects. Students will create a flower garden that sustains pollination from bees, birds, and butterflies. Students will learn the role of pollination as being significant in the production of food, the health of flowering plants, and the future of wildlife.
Students’ lives will differ as they take on an active and responsible role of developing a garden that helps to increase the number of health pollinators through decreasing the threat of integrity to the biodiversity, to the global food webs, and human health.
Students’ will learn that aiding in the simple act of creating a pollination garden is beneficial in sustaining life as we now know it. As students participate in the hands-on act of developing a pollination garden they will have real-world experiences that substantiate the values of environmental science. Additionally, students will transfer classroom experience of learning about pollination and the role pollination plays on their today and tomorrow through developing an environmental artifact (pollination garden).
