My students need funding for two workshops at the NY Aquarium, and follow-up activities related to our Sea Study, including phonics and art centers with a sea theme.
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
Our school has experienced major budget cuts, and, though the parents are active participants in many fundraising efforts throughout the year, the economic shortfall still requires funding from alternate sources. We want to give them the experiences they need to become life-long learners.
Our classroom consists of eager, bright-eyed kindergrtners who come from various socio-economic, and ethnic backgrounds and who bring a wide variety of talent and interesting ideas to each lesson.
They are fascinated with marine animals and anticipate any activity that allows them to explore and discover new things.
My Project
Our young scientists, as a grade, need the means to attend two workshops at the NY Aquarium. There will be hands-on activities, as well as literacy-based projects to discover what makes whale sharks unique, as well as what similarities penguins and fish share. Fishing games in phonics and math would tie the theme across curriculum areas, and serve to inspire students to want to learn more.
Your assistance in this effort to provide our students with these two trips would allow them a unique opportunity to investigate, compare, document, and create in a positive, rich, real-world environment that would lend itself to reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, as well as the sciences, and would be greatly-appreciated.
More than half of students from low‑income households
