My Project

My students love to learn but they need some extra support to access materials and information. Hands-on tactile materials help engage my students in lessons and help bring my lessons to life! My students are super curious about how the world works. We have spent a lot of time learning about different plant and animal life cycles. I would love to finish our year with a unit of study about butterflies. The butterfly kit will quite literally bring these concepts to life by allowing them to watch a caterpillar go to a butterfly. The other items like the frog life cycle set, life cycle of a green bean figures and butterfly life cycle model set will help enhance our science lessons and have students learn about sequencing with hands-on tools.
