My Project

It would be great to have a class pet in the science class to take care of. It will teach students the responsibility of taking care of a living thing. This pet will also encourage students' curiosity and hopefully encourage them to do research. It will also aid in encouraging shier students to get involved in conversations and possibly ease anxiety some students may have. We also need materials replenished to continue hands on projects that will help implement learning while making the students learn in a more memorable fun way.
