My students need the butterfly classroom kits and the “Waiting for Wings” book to help them explore and discover the life cycle of a butterfly and other scientific concepts.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carmona's classroom raised $459

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
My students are eager learners who enjoy the challenges and excitement of new experiences. They thrive when presented with hands on activities and are motivated to learn new concepts. Our classroom is comprised of young learners from diverse backgrounds and need resources to investigate and explore the world around them. They do not have the opportunities at home to experience and study science as most of them live well under the federal poverty line. To help my students develop a love for learning in all subjects, it is important for them to experience and study scientific concepts daily.
Exposing my students to authentic learning experiences builds student knowledge and improves language proficiency through engaging learning experiences.
My Project
The students will be able to read about the life cycle of a butterfly and then observe and experience the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly through the use of the butterfly classroom kit.
This hands on experience of a butterfly life cycle will provide an opportunity for students to observe, record, and analyze data in a scientific setting.
Students will observe their butterflies through the stages, care for them, and finally release them. This project based learning opportunity will pique their curiosity and foster an interest in science based instruction. Your generous donation to our project will enrich the lives of our students and positively impact how they view learning.
