My Project

My class is an amazing bunch! Our school is a Title I school that serves students who come from a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, and a low-income school district. My students are faced with several daily challenges in and out of the classroom. The students in my classroom are full of energy and very enthusiastic about learning. Pre-K is such an exciting group of mixed interests, abilities, and goals.

These craft items include fake fish, fish tank pebbles and plants all of which will help the most challenged students create a cool and vibrant fish aquarium that the kids can take home!

These materials will benefit my students by allowing them to create artwork even if they don't have natural talent. Every student can create a beautiful and colorful aquarium with the given materials and instruction necessary.

Our class will be learning about pets, saltwater life, and lake life to go along with the project.
