My Students
I have a classroom full of second graders, ages 7-9. They represent a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and an even wider variety of abilities. Some students are gifted, some are learning English as a second language, some have learning disabilities, and some have behavior problems.
The one thing they all have in common - a love for school and learning.
Many of my students come to school with odds stacked against them - stressful or not supportive living environments, poor nutrition, lack of English fluency, poor self-esteem, etc. This school and classroom is their home away from home.
Many of them never get to experience having a pet, or watching an animal grow. This project and experience is going to be so amazing for all of my students.
My Project
We are learning the life cycle of animals. Hatching chickens is going to be so exciting and fun to watch. The lamp will allow us to look into the egg as the embryo is growing over the month of incubation.
Not only will this be an experience of a life time for most of my students but they will also be learning throughout different subjects along the way.
We will be able to create a chart in math class to measure the temperature and humidity levels. In science we will keep a log of how the chick is growing and draw the changes we see. Once the chicken hatches the students will learn how to care for them over the next 4 weeks.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
