Geografía a través del arte: basado en proyectos: ¡Biomas, ecosistemas y maravillas naturales!

Welcome! I’m so excited you’re checking out one of my favorite classes to teach!

In this engaging art and science class, students will explore biomes, ecosystems, and natural features through fun lessons and hands-on art projects. Each session kicks off with a friendly icebreaker to help everyone feel comfortable and excited. Then, we dive into a dynamic 15-minute(ish) Google Slides presentation packed with fascinating facts, visuals, and stories about the week's topic. For example, during Coral Reef Week, students will learn what coral reefs are, where they are located, why they’re important, how to preserve them, and fun facts about parrot fish—like how they eat coral and excrete it as sand to help replenish beaches!

Next, students will create their own art project inspired by the topic, spending 25-35 minutes drawing, coloring, and getting creative! I’ll guide them step-by-step while encouraging them to personalize their projects with their own ideas. Throughout the session, I’ll offer helpful tips and positive feedback to support their creative process.

The class wraps up with an open share, where students proudly show off their artwork to the group. A warm and supportive classroom ensures a fun and safe environment for young artists to learn and grow!
