My Project

My students love learning about animals, ocean creatures and dinosaurs, whenever I read books to them on these subject matters, I have a very attentive audience. Last year I received science viewers with pictures of animals and sea life, and my students loved them - they really enriched our reading and made a great follow up activity.

Having figures of animals, ocean creatures and dinosaurs that my students could play with would greatly enhance their learning.

In addition to inspiring their imaginations, they would help with dexterity, social skills and empathy. Plus they are a fun way to support topics we are studying in library.
