My students need an Aquasprouts Garden, Back to the Roots Water Garden Betta Fish Tank, Jump Start CK64060 Hot House with Heat Mat, Tray, 7.5 Inch Dome, Marina LED Aquarium Kit, seeds and soil.
I work as a preschool, special education, developmental, classroom teacher. All of my students have a delay in their development, including but not limited to social skills, fine and gross motor development, self-help skills, speech/language and/or cognitive delays.
All children in my classroom are dependents of United States soldiers, and over half come from homes of low socioeconomic status.
Our focus is on social and emotional health and well-being of children, motor development and preparing students for kindergarten and beyond. Learning is hands-on, minds-on engagement in our program that is play based and self-discovery.
My Project
In the beginning, my students will learn about the life cycle and stages of seeds, and what seeds need in order to grow. We will plant seeds in the starter trays and use the lights to help grow them, especially in the dark winter days in Alaska.
Jobs will be given to care for the plants (water, give light to).
They will become scientists, drawing pictures and talking about the changes over time with the plants (measuring height, counting leaves, size of stem, leaves and flowers that bloom).
Once the seedlings have grown to a specified size, they will be transplanted into the natural aquarium, where fish waste will be used in the grow bed, and the plants will convert fish waste into nutrients to help the plants grow.
