All of our 3rd-6th grade junior botanists were assigned a mystery pollinator from the Sonoran Desert. They used their technology to research what their pollinator looks like, what they eat, where they live, if they like certain colors, and other fun facts. They then had to develop a design for a pollinator house. \r\n\r\nWhen I revealed that we actually had the supplies to make their designs a reality, they were so excited! With the supplies in hand, they then had to revise their ideas in order to collaborate with a partner to bring their final designs to life. These supplies helped our students show leadership, creativity, compassion, and hard work.\r\n\r\nThis week, we began choosing the perfect spots around campus for these pollinator homes to live. We can't wait for all students and families to enjoy seeing these projects around school, all classrooms can use them to make great observations about nature, and most importantly, our students feel great about helping our local garden pals feel safe and providing them with a home. Thank you again for your kindness and support with this amazing project.","fullyFundedDate":1746136188314,"projectUrl":"project/protect-our-native-pollinators/9301943/","projectTitle":"Protect Our Native Pollinators!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Layshock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2337503_orig.jpg?crop=786,787,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642004296248","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-layshock"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58402","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":325,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.1,"schoolId":58402,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Larry C Kennedy School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Larry C Kennedy School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/creighton-school-district-14/larry-c-kennedy-school/58402"}
