My Students

My students live in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods and they require support and resources for learning. My students work hard and they love to explore and learn. One of the biggest challenges we are facing is providing opportunities for them to have hands on experiences within the classrooms.

We need aquatic supplies to help the students learn and grow while having the experiences of a fish tank in the classroom.

Due to the financial constraints on our parents and families, it is hard to purchase resources for what the classroom needs to be successful that is above and beyond basic supplies.

My Project

Help me give my students an opportunity to learn and grow while having a fish tank. This tank will give the student opprotunities to be responsible, see growth, learn the life cycle, and have fun in the classroom.

The students need more hands on experiences with aquatic life to help them learn and grow.

Lesson and teachings can be based around this hands on learning. The students are able and willing to learn as much information about plants, animals, and science. This tank and supplies will provide them the opportunity to learn right in their classroom.
