Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are creative and inquisitive learners who thrive on learning through hands-on experiences. They love to complete activities using computers and working with their peers. They enjoy dancing and activities that require them to use their whole bodies.

My students are eager to learn through many ways which include cooperative grouping and STEM activities.

In my classroom, the students are encouraged to understand their data and work hard to make progress. We use computers to conduct research and strengthen our literacy skills.

My Project

The butterfly farm and grow a frog kit will be used to help my students learn about important life science topics. The students will see how animals change through time.

With these products, my students will use butterfly activity to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly in real-time.

The topic of life science will come alive to them compared to only using textbooks or videos.

These products will help my students get an outlook of careers through STEM that they would unfortunately not be exposed to without it. My students are not able to explore science activities due to the lack of exposure. This product will help my students to have a brighter future that is beyond their imaginations.
