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.
I teach at a Title I school, where the majority of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and go home to non-English speaking families. Some of our students are the only English speaking people in their families!
Our school has students who are homeless.
We have many students who live at the shelter for abused and battered women and children and many other students are living with two or three families in small apartments because they are homeless.
I make it my goal, every year, to supply my students with the supplies they need and hands-on experiences that they wouldn't get elsewhere. It’s very easy to tie a project or activity into the standards the kids are supposed to be learning. By getting our hands on what we’re learning, we learn even more. I love it when my students finish an activity and say what a great time they had and how much they learned! Our students are very bright and deserve every opportunity they get!
My Project
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida has so many great things to offer our students! They learn about the Florida environment and habitat and many of the plants and animals that live there.
We start our field trip by taking a boat ride down the local river where the children have seen dolphins, manatees, alligators, and all kinds of birds in the past.
We then meet some permanent residents of the Conservancy and learn about why they can no longer live in the wild. We also get to see inside the nursery and animal hospital. This is one of the student's favorite parts.
We end our day with a picnic lunch and by learning about the Conservancy's touch tank and water-life.
This field trip is a great trip and learning experience for all of our students!
