My Students

My students are smart, curious, fun-loving, creative, hardworking, helpful, and kind. My 22 students represent countries all over the world, as well as learning levels from Kindergarten to fifth grade. Some of my students need daily intervention while others need daily enrichment. My school consists of about 1,000 students of diverse backgrounds and diverse learning abilities. We have a growing population of ELL students and students for which we implement interventions in reading and math, as well as students needing enrichment to acquire success for their educational needs. Our school does not receive Title I funding; therefore, the technology that we have in our classroom is limited and has to be funded through other means. Our school has an amazing administration and staff who are dedicated to meet each of these diverse needs. The environment of our school is warm, nurturing, and respectful.

My Project

"What's in the eggs?" "What does that machine do?" "When will the eggs hatch?" "How much longer?" "A Chick Hatched Today!" "Can I pet it?" "How do we take care of it?" I can already picture all of the questions and excitement that my students will feel as we hatch eggs in our classroom to learn about the life cycle of a chicken. Students need to be exposed to as many hands-on opportunities as they can so they can be engaged and motivated to ask questions and learn more.

I want students to get to explore, experiment, and be real scientists!

With this project students will read and learn about eggs and the life cycle of a chicken through books and models, and then they will get to take their learning to the next level by putting what they learn into action! Students will takes notes, record data, and make observations as they watch the incubator each day and check that the temperature and humidity are at the levels they should be at for optimal growth. They will get the experience of caring for a living thing to make sure its needs are met as they watch the growth and development of the chicks.
