My Project

I am requesting a play veterinarian kit for my students to use when we learn about pets. We spend a few days exploring who takes care of pets. I am also requesting some fish tank materials so each of my students can make their own fish tank. The longer bottles are going to be used to make sensory bottles that have pet related materials inside! My students love the sensory bottles that we made earlier in the school year, and they are going to have so much fun making more!
