My Project

My students are quick learners and question everything! I love their curiosity and they make sense of the world. I plan on talking about spring during the next several months. One of the most interesting topics about spring is about how many living things are born in the spring and how they change. By you donating these kits and supplies, my students will be able to see the complete metamorphosis of tadpoles becoming frogs as well as caterpillars changing into butterflies. I can’t wait for my students to witness these changes first hand. I will be supplementing this learning with appropriate books and videos.
