My Project

My students come from a variety of backgrounds, and many do not have pets in their own homes. In our classroom, we have a class pet guinea pig and would love to have our own supplies to hatch chicks.

I have asked for supplies to help bring pets to the classroom a reality for our students.

I have asked for a carrier and supplies for our class guinea pig; Louie. I have also asked for our own supplies to incubate and hatch chicks in the classroom.

I love giving my students the opportunity to take ownership of their learning and believe this is a great way to teach responsibility and life skills that go beyond the standard!

This would also help with our standards of ecosystems, life cycles, and food chains. As well as taking a dive into the impact animals have on our environment.
