¡Buenas!
As many know I am an environmental education volunteer...but what does that mean??? Well, here is what I have been up to in my three primary schools....
Building viveros escolares (school tree nurseries)...
Having fun preparing the dirt!!!
One of my 5th grade classes filling up bags with the dirt they prepared.
One of my third graders with a full bag to put in the tree nursery!
98 bags full!!..time to plant the seeds!!....
Complete!...time to water and wait to see if they grow!
Building huertos escolares (school gardens)....
Planting the seeds!
Waiting for them to grow...
Transplanting to the final garden!!!...83 chile pepper plants!
So that´s what I did my first month or so of teaching! Now I am teaching science classes such as: Parts of a tree, Parts of a flower, Photosynthesis, Natural Resources, Conservation, Extinction of Plants and Animals, Parts of a cell, Contamination of water, air and soil etc...
My third grade class and their beautiful flowers they created during my class ¨Parts of a flower¨
I also have taught all my fifth and sixth grade classes about HIV/AIDS...yea, try explaining that in Spanish! But I have had a lot of practice and have made it into a really fun class where everyone acts out HIV attacking the body!
Hope this gives you some insight into my work!! Let me know if you have any questions!
Adios,
Nicole
