My Project

My students are working on learning about animals on Earth and integrating it into their math lessons. However, they also lack materials that can help regulate their emotions, which prevents them from learning.

I want my students to understand they are part of helping Earth be a better place for you and me.

Connecting literature to real-life experiences will make a big impact on young learners. Stories are a wonderful way to teach children and this story will be delightful for students to hear. Games and activities engage the mind and heart to share and care for self and materials. My students will learn to be more conscientious of the world around them and their own minds.

The books will help expose them to the wonderful world of animals, which they are very interested in. With the use of the calendar, we can learn about numbers and weather and tie it into animal habitats. The markers and pens will be used to draw and illustrate our favorite animals and create stories
