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 Students

My 20 students are members of a third grade inclusion classroom in the middle of a large city. Inclusion classrooms in our district combine general education students (75%) and students with special needs (25%). Together, these diverse learners tackle grade-level content and standards.

They are eager to explore new academic content each day, and they learn best through hands-on experiences.

I am eager to build a comfortable and inspiring classroom environment, where students feel cared for and inspired to learn.

My Project

Students will learn about the life cycles and embryonic growth of chickens. Texts and news articles will compliment hands-on, real-time classroom experiences delivered by the incubator, candler, models and other resources listed.

Students will maintain journals and move through the scientific method, collecting and analyzing data relative to temperature, cause and effect, and development.

Inquiry-based work will motivate creative and scientific thinking, reading and writing. I am excited to build assignments that link core grade-level standards to the development and hatching of CITY CHICKS! Please consider helping me to create this memorable, meaningful unit of study in my classroom this spring.
