Help me give my students a hands-on experience by creating a living classroom with terrariums and habitats where they can learn about, observe, and care for real animals and ecosystems daily.

My Project
What I love most about my students is their creativity and sense of wonder. The ask big questions, look closely at the world around them, and light up when learning comes alive. They thrive on inquiry and not just reading about content.
The goal of this project is to create a living classroom where students can connect with science in a real, meaningful way.
Through caring for animals and maintaining habitats, students will learn about ecosystems, biodiversity, life cycles, and environmental responsibility. I love how eager my students are to explore and take ownership of their education. Giving them this opportunity will not only deepen their understanding of science- it will also build empathy, curiosity, and lifelong respect for the natural world.
Terrariums and habitats will give my students the opportunity to observe animal behavior, track changes in ecosystems, and take responsibility for living organisms. Each resource will turn our classroom into a space where learning is active, engaging, and unforgettable.
