Funded Jun 14, 2016Thank you so much for funding Our Aquatic Exploration Project. My students are very excited to be caring for their individual goldfish and each student has named their fish. Having the fish in the classroom has made my students more caring and much calmer. They feed the fish and change the tank water regularly. They also observe their fish, discuss and make notes about their observations.
My students were very excited when they first saw the materials. First the individual tanks arrived, then the fish food and finally the goldfish. Before the goldfish arrived we learned how to take care of goldfish by reading books, discussing what we learned and taking notes. When the goldfish arrived we set up the tanks with rocks and plants before introducing the fish into the tanks.
The next steps for my students with this project is for them to continue taking care of their fish, observe them as they grow and note their observations.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Johnson
