Our school is a Title I school located in Houston, TX. We are a Preschool through 5th-grade school. More than 50% of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Our students enjoy coming to school every day. It is a safe place for them to learn, socialize, and be creative. Preschool is a place of discovery and learning. We want our students to get the most out of their education. This way they are prepared and ready to move on to Kindergarten!
My Project
I would like an aquarium in my classroom. An aquarium will introduce the students to a wonderful underwater world. Having an animal they are responsible for will teach them empathy and responsibility. It will also help teach them about compassion for a life other than their own.
Having fish in the classroom will also create a fun and safe place for students to read with the fish or write a letter to them.
It will also allow for an opportunity for all of us to learn more about their habitat and what things they need to survive and be happy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
