My Project
All our students are curious about the world and want to learn by exploring and having new experiences.
A fish tank will give my students the opportunity of learning more about fish and develop different skills like responsibility by taking care of the fish, empathy, social skills, and emotional well-being, while also providing companionship and reducing stress.
A fish tank and supplies provide an engaging experience that will teach my students responsibility and spark their curiosity about the natural world. Writing journals about the fish is an activity that will also help my students develop their writing and communication skills.
Half of students from low‑income households
