Hibernation, Migration, and Adaptation

Help me give my students the materials needed to explore the concepts of hibernation, migration, and adaptation, and learn how they find food, which ones follow each of these survival techniques and so much more.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Christina's classroom raised $362

My Project

This grant request is asking for wildlife animals and habitats to make abstract concepts tangible for young learners.

These tools will transform passive education into active exploration, allowing children to touch, see, and understand hibernation, migration, and adaptation.

The goals are simple: foster active learning, promote conceptual understanding, encourage collaboration, and instill a lifelong love for nature.

What makes our students special is their innate curiosity and diverse backgrounds, creating a rich environment for immersive learning. This initiative aims to tap into their natural enthusiasm, creating a foundation for future academic success and environmental awareness.
