We Are Starting Our Unit on Living and Non-Living Things.

My Project

We will be starting our unit on living and non-living things. The students would greatly appreciate having physical examples in our daily classroom to observe, care, and create. This is a very exciting unit for children for it gives them excitement of starting from non-living to watching a plant grow big and strong in the hydroponics growing system. Watching fish grow and taking care of them using the hydroponic garden and aquaponic fish tank would also be a fun learning experience inside our classroom.

My goal is to expose my class to as much educational learning as possible.

We are so excited to start this project!
