My Project

Please help me give my students the opportunity to explore fossils. This project will give them the opportunity to identify different fossils, as well as find their own. Students love to explore ancient items, so giving them this hands-on experience will be one they will remember!

Hands-on learning is very impactful for many students.

When they have these experiences, they are more likely to remember them and cross their learning over to other areas in their life. My students are full of curiosity, so this project will be perfect for their always learning minds.

Mrs. Fjeldheim will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by Thursday, August 21.
