My Project

This year I would like to introduce our class to a class pet. We will take care of our very own crawfish! Crawfish are easy to care for and will provide lots of educational experiences to our classroom!

Kids learn that all living things need more than just food and water for survival.

Students will see directly how their behavior and actions affect others. Studies show that the presence of animals tends to lessen tension in the classroom. I feel that this addition will be positive and calming to our classroom environment.
