My Project

Working with students who have autism they need to have the visual supports to see how the life cycles actually happen.

Having the living animals in the classroom will not only teach them about the life cycles, but also how to care and be responsible for another living creature.

These skills are skills that are important in everyday life and the students will get to experience all the work and effort that goes into caring for a living ting, but also the joy and happiness that pets bring to humans.
