Slow and Steady Helps the Class

My students need a class pet in the form of a turtle to study living organisms - as well as the tank, supplies to support it, reference materials, and journals.

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.

Our classroom consists of eager, bright-eyed kindergrtners who come from various socio-economic, and ethnic backgrounds and who bring a wide variety of talent and interesting ideas to each lesson. They are fascinated with marine animals and anticipate any activity that allows them to explore and discover new things. Our school as a whole has experienced major budget cuts, and, though the parents are active participants in many fundraising efforts throughout the year, the economic shortfall still requires funding from alternate sources. We have formed a grant-writing committee to bring enrichment activities to our students, however, each classroom still has its own needs and goals it wants to achieve, whether or not it has the resources to enhance the curriculum to make students fall in love with learning and with becoming life-long learners.

Watching my students during independent reading each day, I noticed a trend; they keep choosing books on marine life, poring over the pictures and comparing stories about their own experiences with some of the creatures depicted. "Can we have a class pet?" they have asked. Most of my students commute, however, they would love to share their ride with a class pet in their care over long breaks or weekends. My students know of my love of dinosaurs and anxiously await our start of the theme unit. I've shown them photos of fossilized turtles 33 million years old found on one of my fossil digs, and arrived at the conclusion that I can tie the past into the present in a series of lessons highlighting characteristics of prehistoric vs. modern reptiles as part of out animal study. This would motivate my students to learn about differences between animal groups and to report back on their research at a future point. Having a live specimen to study would add to their curiosity and connect them to the written material, making science "come alive" for them.

I need a turtle, a tank, reptile food, books about their care, and habits, and warming lights to maintain their body temperature.

Your generous donation would enable my city-dwelling students to expand their knowledge of animals and their habitats, to see how reptiles are part of a bigger ecological "picture" on the planet. This will motivate students to ask analytical questions and test hypotheses as they venture into research on similar animals and creatures which are very different from our class pet.
