My Project

As we approach the end of the school year, I want to create memorable and engaging experiences for my students that blend fun, hands-on learning, and teamwork. So much of our learning is focused on reading and math that we have a limited amount of time dedicated to science. I would like to provide my students with a Camping Day.

I want to create a fun and cozy camping experience in our classroom.

Students will camp out in our room in their tablecloth covered makeshift tents with flashlights. They will discover fun animal and insect facts. We will venture into the great outdoors with our notebooks, magnifying glasses, binoculars, and insect catchers to investigate some creepy crawlers.

With your help we can make this an unforgettable experience for all students.
