My Project

During the spring season, I teach my students about living and non-living things. I usually teach about non-living things such as phones, books, and toys and then teach about living things such as plants and butterflies (we grow both of these things every year). This year, I would like to introduce fish as another living organism to discuss in the classroom.

Please help me give my students the opportunity to learn about fish and their way of life.

My pre-k students love to learn and having classroom fish friends will only get them more excited about learning!
