I see kindergarten through 6th graders and all of them have been so excited and curious about it all. \r\n\r\nWith the fish tank, I did my research to set the tank up with real plants, plus the ones on top. I was able to share my journey with my students, teaching them about habitats and properly caring for living things. I would tell them I dont want our fish to just survive, I want him to thrive and be happy. \r\n\r\nEvery day they'd ask me when we would get the fish and I would tell them the pH levels were still off, my big kids would help me test. When it was finally right, I got us a red, male betta. The kids were in love. They have all been so respectful and kind to our new friend. \r\n\r\nI told them what I've learned about bettas, that they're from Thailand and adapted to be able to take small breaths of air. The kids love watching to catch him taking a quick breath. They also look for his bubble nests, a sign he is happy. \r\n\r\nMy anxious students love to come and sit by his tank and watch him swim. He has such a calming presence in our class. \r\n\r\nThe hydroponic garden also has been a massive hit. We are growing lettuce and will feed it to a bunny that one of our teachers has as a pet. The kids all thought it was cool that it doesn't need any soil. We were able to discuss what plants need to grow, going right along with my lessons. Its so helpful for them to be able to experience it in real life. They are always happy to come check and see how our lettuce is growing. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your kindness and generosity, it means so much for you to help a group of kids that you haven't even met. Our world is a better place because of people like you.","fullyFundedDate":1746556517898,"projectUrl":"project/fish-and-plants-classroom-buddies/9289500/","projectTitle":"Fish and Plants: Classroom Buddies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9886504"},{"teacherId":411188,"projectId":8792435,"letterContent":"Once again, We'd like to express our sincerest appreciation for your donations to make it possible for our project to be fully funded. We received our Learning Alive Rug first - once it was unwrapped - the children just laid down on it! Their eyes were drawn to the vibrant colors and all of the animals.\r\nWe just recently began our unit of study on animal habitats - so, we are especially excited to see the habitat portion of our rug! We are also writing about our favorite animals and we love laying down on our rug as we research, read, write about our favorites.\r\nWe are having fun working our way through our Learning Alive Journals. \r\nThe journals are going to be a great keepsake for our students as they'll have a memory of their time in Kindergarten (and of your generosity). The journals are also a great reminder of the animals, the letters that represent, and the sounds of the letters (and animals).","fullyFundedDate":1733248699408,"projectUrl":"project/its-a-zoo-in-here/8792435/","projectTitle":"It’s a Zoo in Here!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp411188_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1523339361141","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/karen-boyd"},{"teacherId":5609972,"projectId":8785767,"letterContent":"We are so grateful to have you all as supporters of our students and our Leader in Me program we are starting here at Sky Ranch.

These books are already loved and will continue to be loved as they are used to teach 7 habits as well as other reading skills in the classroom.\r\n With these books we have created a section for teacher, students, and myself to use as guides and examples of our Leader in Me program that are available for all to checkout, to learn with, and will be wonderful as some of them are materials that can be used by teachers and my self for the first 8 day lessons we do with the kiddos.
