My Project

My students were very excited to have our bearded dragon Chi-Chi come into class. Chi-Chi has been teaching them how to be responsible for a pet. They enjoy feeding her and watching her bask under her heating light. My students like to do their work next to Chi-Chi and have bonded with her.

Once Chi-Chi came into the classroom it quickly became clear she needed a bigger terrarium to grow into.

My students have done extensive research into what Chi-Chi needs to thrive and a bigger terrarium is one of them. This terrarium is the ideal size for Chi-Chi and will help her live a long healthy life.

Getting this terrarium now help my students now and my future students.
