My Students
"He is so excited about the butterfly garden!" "She loves writing about the butterfly garden!" "He loves science since you started the butterfly garden." These are just a few things I have heard from parents since we started the butterfly project for Disney Planet Challenge.
I teach a fabulous group of fourth grade students at a fine and performing arts charter school.
The area in which they live has felt the crash of the American auto industries in a very real and heartbreaking way. However, you would never know that by watching my students. They have such a zest for life and a philanthropic spirit. They want to give back, and they also want more "nature" in their lives. We have students from over twenty different communities in our school. Although these students come from several different communities, every city in our area has one thing in common: almost every "paradise" has been paved and covered with a parking lot (or some other urban structure).
My Project
My students are going to use Activote to create interactive lessons to inspire other classes to want to help our environment. The first thing we are planning on doing is using Activote to make a student-created presentation about butterflies more interactive to keep the attention of the audience. They will use Activote to "poll the audience," much like you see on talk shows and game shows. After the butterfly presentations are complete, Activote will continue to be an invaluable resource to my class, keeping my students' attention and allowing me to check their understanding frequently.
I am thrilled that we are doing something to make a difference for our Earth.
However, I am ecstatic that this Disney project has inspired my students. YOU can help them share their passion!
