My Project

At our school, I am continually inspired by the resilience and curiosity of my students with extensive support needs. With this project, we aim to create an immersive learning experience by incubating and raising quail eggs in our classroom.

Each resource we're requesting plays a vital role in our students' educational journey.

The egg incubator will provide a controlled environment for observing the incubation process, fostering a deep understanding of life cycles and biology. Through daily observations, our students will learn about the stages of development from egg to chick, honing their skills in scientific observation and documentation.

Furthermore, this project offers numerous opportunities for collaboration and inclusion. We plan to involve peers from general education classrooms, promoting social interaction and teamwork. Together, students will observe the quail eggs' progress, document their findings, and discuss their observations, fostering a sense of community and shared learning experiences.

Our goals for this project extend beyond academic learning. We aim to cultivate a sense of responsibility, empathy, and wonder in our students as they care for these fragile creatures. By providing hands-on experiences, we empower our students to explore the natural world and develop essential life skills.

What makes our students truly special is their unwavering enthusiasm and determination to learn despite facing various challenges. They remind us daily of the power of resilience and the joy of discovery. With your support, we can create an inclusive and enriching environment where every student can thrive and make meaningful connections with the world around them.
