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.

I teach a kindergarten class of 18 students who are 5-6 years old. The majority of our children come with very little or no preschool experience. Due to low income levels, 14 of 18 students receive free lunch. The students are eager to learn but need the extra resources to help them grasp the concepts.

The students love living critters. There is so much they can learn by taking care of them, observing them, writing about their observations, predicting what will happen, etc. For our students to have these critters and be responsible for them will make such a difference in their lives. They will take an active part in learning the life cycle of different critters.

To get our students hopping, crawling, and flying into learning, we need habitats and certificates for these living creatures: Hermit Crabs, Tad-Poles, Ants, and Lady-Bugs. We also need a certificate for live caterpillar larvae to go with the Butterfly habitat that we already have. As the students observe the changes in the critters, they will do daily journal writings about what is happening, make predictions and graphs about how long the process takes, and learn in ways they would not otherwise get learn.

Your help will empower our children to watch, observe, predict, and enjoy learning using a hands-on approach. You will make it possible for my students to literally "SEE LIFE CHANGE" before their wondering eyes. Can't you just imagine the excitement on their little faces. Thank you for your help. The children will be so excited.
