I teach 5th grade to a wonderful group of students. In science, the students learn about plate tectonics, the rock cycle and animal habitats, all through the ocean.

Getting students excited about learning is something I strive to do everyday. My students are extremely visual and learn through seeing as well as touching. By having the ocean come to life in the classroom, students will not only be more willing to learn, but also excited to do so.

I would like supplies to create an underwater like atmosphere in my classroom. Students will be able to sit in the "Coral Reef", on our ocean rug and read a book, or sit on the "Continental Shelf" and work on math problems. This way students can learn about and be immersed in the ocean, even while other subjects are being taught! By surrounding students by a vital subject taught in 5th grade, these materials will help the students become interested and learn more about the ocean and our world.

You will make it possible for my students to become lifelong learners. By teaching them that learning can be fun, you are giving them the foundation to gain more knowledge, throughout their school career and life.
