My Project

Having a fish as a class pet provides students with a unique opportunity to connect with living things, fostering empathy and emotional well-being as they observe and care for another life. The daily routines of feeding, cleaning, and monitoring the fish’s environment help students develop responsibility, teamwork, and attention to detail.

Watching the fish can also offer a calming presence in the classroom, supporting students’ mental health and providing a peaceful break during stressful moments.

Overall, our class fish enriches the learning environment, encouraging curiosity, compassion, and a sense of shared responsibility among all students.
