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 come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many students benefit from the free or reduced-price lunch program. Some of my students do not come to school with all the necessary supplies. Although that is true, my students are hard workers, and they do not let anything get in the way of their leaning. They try their best in all that they do. Our class motto is "Work hard. Be kind." They always stick to the motto as best they can.
My Project
We recently added two hermit crabs to our classroom family. After a few weeks of taking care of the class pets and studying hermit crab needs, the students and I learned that in order to provide the hermit crabs with the best environment we must monitor the humidity in their environment. The addition of the humidity sensor, hermit crab food, and sand will allow the opportunity for students to continue to learn about hermit crabs and their environment. Additionally, students will be able to continue to practice responsibility as they work together to care for our class pets.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
