My Students

Do you remember what it was like as a child looking into in a fish aquarium. I want to bring that excitement into my classroom for my students.

My students are great students that come from a very rural and small county.

About seventy percent of these students come from very low socioeconomic environments where their home life is not always a happy one. I want to bring excitement and fun into my classroom so they can enjoy school and learn as much as possible.

My Project

I am requesting this aquarium and fish because my students will really enjoy learning about habitats and actually having a live habitat in our classroom that they can learn to take care of and be responsible for. This aquarium will surely put a smile on my students faces.

This project is so important to me and my students because it will being life and excitement to our classroom.

I want to make learning as fun as possible and I feel that this project will help my students understand habitats and how to care for one.
