My Project

I teach kindergarten at a Title I school in Eastern Kentucky. This year my kindergarten students are doing a life science unit where we learn about the changes of plants and animals. In this unit we will read about how butterflies, ants, and flowers grow and reproduce. I would love for my students to get excited about the lessons with a fun and engaging twist.

With this ant farm, butterfly hatching kit, and root window my students will be able to watch the stages of the plant and animals life cycles for a better understanding of the changes certain plants and animals go through!

I would love to be able to give my students this unforgettable experience in kindergarten!
