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 classroom is full of future scientists including potential biologists and zoologists. We need more hands-on opportunities for my students to see and observe some of the animals we are learning about with a Santa Ana Zoo Zoomobile Classroom Presentation.

I have a wonderful class of second graders.

Our school is located in a high immigrant, low income community in California. The parents of most of my students never finished high school. Many of my students will be the first ones in the family to finish high school and, hopefully, college too. Most of my students are English learners. I have several students with learning disabilities. I also mainstream students with learning disabilities into my all-inclusive classroom. This assembly will include both of the second grade classes at my school and our third grade buddy class.

My Project

An animal expert from the Santa Ana Zoo will come to my school to put on a one hour Zoomobile Classroom Presentation for each of the two second grade classes at our school and also one for our third grade buddy class.

This program will include an assortment of different animals, including mammals, reptiles, and birds.

My students will be able to see, touch, and observe some of the animals that they are learning about as part of their science unit on animal classification and their Language Arts unit on animal camouflage. This will be an incredible opportunity for my students to see some amazing animals up-close instead of just reading about these animals in their books.

As a follow-up art project, my students and their third grade buddies will each be able to draw their favorite animal that they saw and then use the watersoluble oil pastels and watercolor paper to create a beautiful masterpiece.

These pictures will be proudly displayed at our school so parents, teachers, visitors, and students will all be able to see the amazing art that my students have created as a follow-up activity to our Santa Ana Zoo Zoomobile Classroom Presentation.

I want this project to give my students great memories of their time in second grade and inspire them to stay in school and pursue careers in the STEAM fields.
