Wish I was a Fish!

Our young scientists need funding to attend two workshops at the Brooklyn Aquarium. There will be hands-on activities as well as literacy-based projects to discover what makes whale sharks unique, as well as what similarities penguins and fish share.

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 kindergartners 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.

In order to attend the two units of study-based aquarium workshops, we need to raise the money as soon as possible, or forfeit the trip and rely solely on reference books and DVDs to provide background knowledge about sea life. As anyone who has been to the NY Aquarium can attest, there is no better venue for learning and active engagement than where young students can explore, investigate, and create products based upon their new experiences.

Your generous donation would allow the entire grade to experience these two workshops and follow-up activities to establish a set of "building blocks" for learning that would be carried up through the grades. It will assist them in asking analytical questions and formulating hypotheses as they advance academically, and the rigors of standardized tests require a degree of scientific reasoning based upon early experiences.

Your assistance in this effort to provide our students with these two trips would allow them a unique opportunity to investigate, compare, document, and create in a positive, rich, real-world environment that would lend itself to inspire them in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, as well as the sciences, and would be greatly-appreciated.
