My Project

My students will be able to see life cycles in real life in their own classrooms. I will be able to teach them about life cycles and they can see the cycle taking place in our room with the butterflies and the plants. They will be able to see that these changes take time. I will also use the magnetic bookshelves to display books on our whiteboard. I can show books that are related to what we are learning about or special books that I have found for my students.
