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 Project

I have three 5th grade classes which I intend to start a fossil poster project with. The posters will allow the students to work together in a group and create a landscape full of different types of dinosaur or animal fossils. They can make it as big as they like by connecting posters sheets together. To create this landscape they will need many markers, crayons, color pencils, scissors, pencils, glue, and tape.

The students are allowed to draw out their fossils on white paper and then piece it together by cutting and pasting the drawings onto the poster.

This will allow each student to play their part in the project and collaborate on ideas. This group of 5th graders are very outspoken and love doing group projects with their classmates. I asked each class to pick a topic and the majority agreed on a fossil project because they find it very interesting.

I have many students who have great artistic skills. These supplies will allow them to fully use their artistic abilities to create a great poster. They are also very interested in science and love to learn about old historic pieces such as fossils, rocks, and landforms. I am very excited to see what they create on their posters. My goals for this project are to inspire students to research about Earth's past through fossils, use their creativity, and work together as a group by collaborating and negotiating their ideas.
