My Project

Your financial support for our classroom will have a huge, positive impact on our students. We will be using the materials to hatch real-life chickens right in our classroom! This will be such a fun and educational experience! Most of my students have never visited a farm, so bringing farm animals into my classroom will be an unforgettable adventure for them. Last year, I borrowed another teacher's incubator, and my students learned so much from watching the eggs hatch in our room. I cannot wait until we start our farm unit this school year using our very own hatching materials!

Bringing the farm into our classroom-just think of all the learning my pre-k students will experience!!

The materials will make our farm theme more exciting and interesting: an incubator, a chick life-cycle game, a heat lamp, food and water dishes, and lots of books.

Thank you for your support!
