Life Skills for Successful Future

Help me give my students the first hand experience of watching baby chicks hatch with the 360 degree view incubator. Hands on activities are great ways to catch students interest and help them learn.

My Project

I work with students who learn better with hands on learning. Hands on learning increases student engagement. Hands on projects help students adapt their fine motor skills as well as social skills.

Our goal is to engage our students with hands on projects to help enhance their life skills.

We are planning on hatching baby chicks so that they can watch the miracle of life and also learn to care for them. They will have some hands on science projects to make learning more fun vs reading from a book.
