My Project

Our school has chickens! And the kids have questions.

Help me help our kids and teachers learn more about our "backyard" chickens and how to keep them happy and healthy.

I'm putting together a learning box with lots of books, plushies, and learning toys. Teachers will be able to borrow the box for their kids to use.

Additionally, kids in my art classes will have access to these same materials on a regular basis. They'll be able to help teach their classmates, friends, and parents all about our beloved pet chickens.
