FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mac's classroom raised $508

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

This project will help students research and understand food chains and webs as they learn more about predator and prey relationships.

Having primary sources in the classroom benefits the entire learning community.

Too often students use only Google or Youtube for their research. These books are vivid, science-based texts that will support all students regardless of academic ability. Some are in rhyming verse while others use tier 3 academic vocabulary. These resources will provide my students with resources to learn and present their finding to a variety of audience. The games will help students enjoy learning about different ecosystems and how an animal or a human can impact that.
